However, the ICIR (Information Centre for International Relations) does have accommodations at its disposal, both university and private accommodations. The accommodations officer of the ICIR will assist students in finding rooms within the Rotterdam area or immediate vicinity.

The Erasmus University Rotterdam is named after one of the greatest humanistic scholars of the Renaissance, Desiderius Erasmus (1469-1536). Raised in Rotterdam until he was four years old, Erasmus later traveled extensively throughout Europe and became best known perhaps for his work Moriae Encomium (1509) which was later translated as In Praise of Folly. In 1495 Erasmus added the name “Rotterdamensis” to his name, changing this to “Roterodamus” in 1505. Although named after this great humanistic thinker, Erasmus University Rotterdam is well known today both for its expertise in practical subjects such as business, medicine, media studies, law and criminology, as well as for its faculties of history, philosophy, and the arts and social sciences generally. Established originally in 1913, the university has grown over the years to number today more than 16,000 students, about 2,000 of which are from international backgrounds. In its history faculty, as in many of its other faculties, the university has several world renowned scholars in a wide range of fields.
