Organization's description

Erasmus University Rotterdam is a highly ranked, international research university, based in the dynamic and diverse city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Our mission is to create positive social impact. The Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication (ESHCC) conducts research and offers high-quality education at the interface between the Humanities and the Social Sciences, in particular in the fields of history, arts and culture, and media and communication, with a strong focus on the creative industries. The Design Impact Transition (DIT) Platform at Erasmus University Rotterdam empowers radically new ways to do research, education and engagement for a just and sustainable future. As a platform, we bring together academics, students, non-academic staff and external stakeholders around complex and persistent societal challenges. We aim to build a strong and engaged community and a collaborative, experimental and design-based culture of transdisciplinarity. DIT is at the heart of the EUR Strategy, living the Erasmian values of global citizenship, social commitment, an open and critical mind-set, cooperation and entrepreneurial spirit.
