ERIM Research Initiatives


ERIM Research Initiatives are research-fuelled “communities of engagement” where faculty, students, and practitioners connect around specific topic or subject in order to develop new insights and drive impact. Initiatives thus serve as intellectual hubs providing opportunities for investigation, discussion, collaboration, and experimentation around subjects with wide-ranging implications for markets, organizations, and society. The work of ERIM Research Initiatives usually generates published research, community outreach, and partnerships among academics, industry, and government. Initiatives can also serve as a stepping-stone towards a mature Research Centre at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) or Erasmus School of Economics (ESE).

The initiatives per ERIM research programme and across research programmes can be found through the links below.
