'''Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship:'''
Our university has a set of diverse, well-developed initiatives to promote innovation and entrepreneurship among students. Firstly, the curriculum of Erasmus University, both at Bachelor and Master levels, has courses, minors and majors that focus on various aspects of innovation and entrepreneurship, whether it be tech, sustainability or other disciplines. Secondly, there are a large number of associations and sections of the university that focus on encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship among the student body. For example, the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship (ECE) has a department dedicated to students, which involves student-led entrepreneurship workshops, training, mentoring together with start-up support and resources. Additionally, the Community for Learning and Innovation (CLI) supports various student-based initiatives through its Students for Students (S4S) team.

'''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship:'''
To add onto the work that the CLI is doing at Erasmus University, they are also largely focused on encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship through various methods. These include fellowships offered to research innovative practices in education, and MicroLabs, Webinars and MOOCs to help professors and staff implement innovative teaching practices. Furthermore, Risbo is a partner of the CLI which works on training and innovation for academic staff at our university.

'''Actively supporting the university technology transfer function:'''
The Erasmus MC Technology Transfer Office helps in providing new findings and research be available to the general public. Furthermore, the Erasmus Centre for Data Analytics (ECDA) aids the university technology transfer function, being a university-wide effort with student and staff parts. Additionally, tech-centred associations, such as Erasmus Tech Community, enhance the university's tech landscape.

'''Facilitating university-industry collaboration:'''
During Bachelor programmes, students are either encouraged or required to partake in an internship of their choice, which facilitates the university-industry collaboration. Moreover, there are initiatives on campus which are specifically dedicated to university-industry collaboration. Firstly, there is the Erasmus Recruitment platform, which connects firms to students that are willing to work for them. Secondly, there are faculty specific services, such as alumni mentoring or job platforms, which also help the collaboration between the university and industries. Thirdly, a lot of student associations host career days with various companies and relevant alumni.

'''Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts:'''
To engage with regional and local economic development efforts, Erasmus University has access to the Validation Lab and the Accelerator programme offered by the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship. There also exists the Impact Centre Erasmus, which encompasses Impact at the Core, which helps connect the wider Rotterdam and Netherlands community with the work done and resources present at Erasmus University.

Priorities:Erasmus University Rotterdam Student Priorities

'''1. Connecting students among faculties'''
Our team of UIF fellows for the 2021-22 cohort consist of four students, each from a different study programme within different faculties. From the very beginning, we noticed that we have a lot of interests and passions in common- however, at Erasmus University, it is often hard to interact with students from programmes and faculties besides your own. From this, we have decided that our overarching strategic priority would be to connect students across faculties, with initiatives and activities, whether new or existing, that would be inclusive to everyone and encourage diversity.

'''2. Connecting students with opportunities to develop themselves and their interests outside of academics'''
Another common idea that all of our fellows shared was the fact that there are a lot of opportunities to develop yourself outside of your study programme at Erasmus University. However, from the students that we talked and interacted with, many say that these opportunities are sometimes not promoted well enough, that there is too many to know where to start from or that they were not aware of certain opportunities that are available to them. Thus, we have made this one of our strategic priorities- to enhance the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, and the extra-curricular activities offered at our university, by trying to make students more aware of and engaged with them.

'''3. Connecting students with their learning environment'''
Our university is a large organisation, with thousands of students across faculties and programmes. This provides great variety and diversity, however it can also make it hard for students to feel connected to their peers, the staff and students outside their immediate academic and extracurricular circles. Especially during the pandemic and online education, this gap was widened according to many students, both incoming and current. By acknowledging this, we have formed our third student priority, which is to help students connect more to their academic environment.

'''4. Connecting graduating students with alumni'''
At Erasmus University, there is a large emphasis on helping incoming students manage the transition to university. Most incoming students that use these resources find them extremely useful, as the beginning of university is often times a hard transition. Another often difficult transition is the one at the end of university- students are faced with a lot of uncertainty and an exciting, but often daunting freedom to choose whatever path they would like their life to head in. From this, we have created our fourth student priority, which is to help aid the graduating students with resources, such as alumni who have graduated from their same programme, to navigate their post-university transition.

==Bio==
Hi! My name is Teodora and I am an Economics student at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I am going into my second year, in which I will also start a Bachelor of Philosophy of Economics. I am originally from Romania but I have lived in Austria, Norway, New Zealand, and now the Netherlands. I love stepping outside of my comfort zone, and challenging myself- these were two big reasons why I applied for the University Innovation Fellows programme. As a first-year university student I wanted to feel involved in university development and projects and to meet people working towards making our university better- now I will get to meet people from all over the world who are getting to do just that!

==Achievements==
- Starting to work as a student assistant for the Erasmus Community for Learning and Innovation
- Member of the IBEB (International Bachelor of Economics and Business Economics) Programme Committee
- Tutoring at IB Academy
- EEF (Erasmus Eduction Fund) scholarship recipient
