1Erasmus school of economics

1913

Three initiators, Jacob Adolf Ruys, Cornelis Adriaan Pieter van Stolk and Willem Cornelis Mees, managed to mobilise a sufficient number of people – most of them members of the Rotterdam business community – in 1913 to facilitate the establishment of the Nederlandsche Handels-Hoogeschool [Dutch Business School].

In 1939, the School’s name was changed to Nederlandsche Economische Hogeschool (Dutch School of Economics), which, in turn, was the successor in title of the current Erasmus School of Economics. The School became world-renowned for with its education and research in economics and econometrics.

In 1973, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam was eventually created from the merger of Nederlandsche Economische Hogeschool and Medische Faculteit Rotterdam (Rotterdam Medical School).
