Possible future scenarios for ESHCC were a hot topic among employees at the school during the past few months especially.

The former UvA Rector Magnificus was charged with this task upon commencing with her appointment in Rotterdam. The draft recommendation consists of three possible scenarios: continuing as an independent school, merging with Philosophy, or merging with Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB).
