Over the past 50 years, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) has firmly established its reputation as one of Europe’s most international and innovative business schools. Founded by business, our long history with international companies has become a reciprocal and supportive relationship.
We treasure this engagement because businesses deliver interaction with our students, either through recruitment, through study projects on real-life business challenges or through providing internships. They also help us to provide relevant and timely executive and organisational development programmes, and give us insights as well as valorisation for our cutting-edge research projects.
It’s RSM’s mission to be a force for positive change in the world. For this, we are committed to the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals as the framework for defining ‘positive change’.
Offering a distinct intellectual culture, we aim to improve the practice of business and management through our research, our education, and our engagement with alumni and corporate and societal partners.
It’s in RSM’s culture to make the change happen; through our forward thinking I WILL initiative and through our adoption of Prof. Maathai’s hummingbird story as a nice illustration of our line of thinking

"We are a fashion company because we sell clothes, but our main aim and motivation is that we make impact in places where it’s needed the most."
"I would love it if some projects are still 'alive' by the end of this academic year and that they continue working on it or pass it on to next year's ambassadors."
