Our history validates our strong capabilities: the Marketing Association EUR has been organizing IRP for almost twenty years. Research teams have been providing multidisciplinary research services to a large clientele. The quality of research is ensured by the supervision of the Erasmus University professors.

As the International Research Project works on a non-profit basis, our budget will solely be made to cover necessary costs such as transportation, accom-modation, communication as well as any other additional costs. As a result, we can provide an unseen value for money.
