Focus on Societal Challenges as driver of Research

As a university medical center, Erasmus MC has a great responsibility to help solve social issues related to health. The research strategy 2023-2029 ‘Focus on Societal Challenges as driver op Research’, clarifies the direction we want to take as a scientific organization at the center of society.

The strategy, which is in line with Erasmus MC’s mission and core values, describes how we can increase the impact of our research and strategically deploy the limited resources available for scientific research. And how we, together with our stakeholders, can effectively contribute to solutions, now and in the future.
