  Network Professor 'From Big History to Urban Ecology'

  Over the years, Erasmus University College (EUC) and the Natural History Museum Rotterdam have enjoyed a fruitful collaboration. Since Rotterdam does not have a Faculty of Biology, EUC has found a natural partner in the Natural History Museum Rotterdam, an easily accessible knowledge institution with its own collection focusing on biodiversity, palaeontology and urban ecology, which will help EUC present its bachelor’s students with a wider range of biology-related activities. In order to strengthen and expand the collaborative efforts, a Network Chair has been established, which will help to strengthen the triangle made up by EUC/Erasmus University, the Natural History Museum and Erasmus MC – the so-called Erasmus Life Sciences Triangle.
