RESEARCH
Together with excellence in education, the EUR has, over the years,
built an enviable reputation for its research output, both in the
theoretical and applied fields. The University's location in the "business
heart" of the Netherlands helps in directing research towards
addressing direct societal and business needs. This is done through
a number of University Institutes and Research Centres such as:
-
Tinbergen Institute (TI)
-
Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM)
-
Research School for Transport, Infrastructure and
Logistics (TRAIL)
-
Thomas Stieltjes Institute for Mathematics (Stieltjes)
-
Dutch research school for Information and Knowledge
Systems (SIKS)
-
Rotterdam Institute of Business Economic Studies
(RIBES)
-
Research Centre for Economic Policy (OCFEB)
-
Econometrics Institute (EI)
-
Erasmus Center for Financial Research (ECFR)
-
Rotterdam Institute of Modern Asian Studies (RIMAS)
-
Centre for Advanced Small Business Economics (CASBEC)
-
Centre for Development Programming (COP)
-
Economic Geography Institute (EI)

Erasmus Centre for Optimization in Public Transport
(ECOPT)

In a nation of traders such as the Netherlands, research in transport
and logistics is at the very heart of the business community. It could
perhaps suffice to say that one in three trucks on Europe's motorways
is Dutch. At the EUR, research in maritime transport goes as far back
as the days of Jan
Tinbergen, with his famous work on shipbuilding cycles [1934],
and his student, Tjalling Koopmans, renowned for his 1937 book on
the tanker industry. In recent times, this research has focused on
topics such as industry analysis, shipping cycles, shipping finance,
international shipping and port policy, labour market analysis in
shipping and ports, shipping alliances and port privatization. Contract
research is also a substantial source of income for the university,
allowing it to expand its international academic staff and involve
students, as junior research assistants, in ongoing projects.
