Who are we?

Thinkers who act. At Erasmus MC Graduate School we connect fundamental and practical research with results. Here is where (international) students become trained scientists, and where PhD candidates conduct research that makes a difference - for science and the wider community. This is because we measure success not only in terms of international recognition and scientific publications, but also, crucially, in terms of our impact on the health and well-being of society.
