University name

In the logo
The EUR uses one logo. The signature of Erasmus with the name ‘Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam’ below it in Dutch. Logos with translated wording (e.g. Erasmus University Rotterdam) or additions (faculty or department names) are not permitted.

In text
In text the name of the Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam may be abbreviated to EUR. But only once the name has been used in full earlier in the text, followed by the abbreviation in brackets: ...Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam (EUR).
In the wording of international publications the university name may be translated as ‘Erasmus University Rotterdam’.

International publications
In the title column or in the vertical left-hand column for example on the cover of an internationally-oriented brochure, the English name ‘Erasmus University Rotterdam' may be used. This name can be used in combination with the English pay-off ‘Main Port of Knowledge’, for example.
