For more than 30 years, Professor Jaap Spronk inspired the students, staff and faculty he worked with – both here in Rotterdam, and at numerous institutions around the world. His passing brought our community together to share stories of his impact: as an educator, a researcher, a mentor, and a colleague.
Now, with your support, we can help to continue his legacy and inspire future generations of students to flourish in his memory through the Jaap Spronk Memorial Fund.
Jaap’s fundamental wish was to spread knowledge. This fund will continue his passions of opening doors to educational opportunities across the globe.

An award for RSM students going on exchange across the world
A prize awarded to students who demonstrate both knowledge and passion in their thesis
Since our founding fifty years ago, RSM has focused on the power of business – armed with cutting edge research and education – to change minds and transform lives.
But we know that, with your help, more – much more – is possible.
Your donation to programmes such as the Jaap Spronk Memorial Prizes supports and encourages students who attend RSM, transforming their own opportunities and that of their communities. It encourages students to make positive change. And it amplifies our world class research, ensuring the insights and knowledge gained by students can have a direct, profound impact on people across the globe – and not only in the classroom.
We are working in partnership with the Erasmus Trustfonds to ensure that all donations are managed securely and donors can take full advantage of philanthropic tax benefits.
