The Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) has brought together 30 leading professors from all fourteen universities to address the many pressing questions raised by the emergence of a digital society. At Erasmus University Rotterdam, several experts also strive to contribute to the field of the digitalisation of society.
Education and digital media
Erasmus University Rotterdam's education is centered around the principe 'Digital is Normal'. Through the development of online colleges, MOOC's and forms of blended learning, we are continuously looking for ways in which digitalisation can contribute to the success of our students and the quality and accessibility of our education.
