Last week we participated in the Societal Impact Days of the Erasmus University Rotterdam!

On Tuesday, our team joined the Impact Inspiration Fair, where diverse EUR initiatives, centers, and organizations proudly showcased how they work towards creating a positive societal impact in line with the university’s mission.


What an inspiration coming from fellow initiatives like Impact at the Core, SHELEADS+, IDEA Center – Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Convergence (alliance TU Delft, Erasmus MC, EUR), where together with Mondai | House of AI we proudly support the AI, data, and digitalization pillar.

It was an inspiring day filled with diverse speeches amongst others by our Dean of Strategic Impact & Engagement Arwin Van Buuren alternated by engaging workshops and discussions with fellow impact colleagues.


At the Erasmus Centre for Data Analytics, we are dedicated to harnessing the power of data, algorithms, and AI as transformative tools to tackle current and future societal challenges. Our approach takes a human-centered perspective, ensuring that technology serves the community and drives positive change.

  • Smart Campus, focused on enhancing sustainability on the EUR campus.
  • AI@EUR, aimed at fostering ethical and responsible guidelines on AI use at EUR.
  • Programs for professionals, accelerating data, AI & XR literacy, and understanding how to use these novel technologies responsibly and effectively.
  • The Civic AI lab, addressing the societal implications of AI from an ELSA perspective (Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects) together with citizens from the Rotterdam region.

At the Erasmus Data Collaboratory | House of AI, in our Immersive Xperience Lab and Data Lab, collaborations between students, researchers, and industry professionals are endorsed. By creating an environment that fosters experimentation, we are committed to stimulating innovation, allowing the application of academic insights, and making academic results more visual, understandable, and accessible for impact collaborations.

We are proud to be part of the EUR community and its mission to understand contemporary, complex societal challenges and directly address them by seizing the opportunities and addressing the threats.

Thank you for the opportunity to connect with so many passionate individuals and share ideas on driving meaningful change together. A big thank you to everyone who visited our booth!
