About us - Synclab

Values

At the Erasmus-SYNC lab we speak up against racism and strive to enable equality. The Erasmus University Rotterdam aspires to be an inclusive organization where everyone feels at home and therefore get the opportunity to excel. Talent is the basis; diversity is the added value. We believe in the enrichment that a mix of different people bring. We aim to connect all of society: regardless of origin, skin color, gender, education level, or sexual preference.
