Erasmus University Rotterdam appoints two Erasmus Professors

For the first time, Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) is appointing Erasmus Professors. They will start work from 1 January 2023 with the special task of further realising EUR's mission: creating positive societal impact. During the university's 109th anniversary celebrations this afternoon, Rector Magnificus prof. Annelien Bredenoord announced that these special positions have been assigned to the two distinguished scientists prof. Eveline Crone and prof. Moniek Buijzen. Annelien Bredenoord: "We are delighted with the appointment of these two professors to such a strategic position. They are among the absolute vanguard in their fields and are frontrunners in terms of impact." The Erasmus Professors are to stimulate the academic intellectual climate and bring scientists together. They are expected to collaborate on creating multidisciplinary societal impact for the EUR from within various disciplines, with different experiences and expertise. "Eveline Crone and Moniek Buijzen have already shown in many ways that they excel in such collaborations and are able to realise research and education that transcends disciplines, faculties and even organisations," Bredenoord says.
