At EUR, students never have to embark on a journey alone. Sometimes when things are a bit too hard, having a buddy where one can share and bond over mutual experience can help one sail through hardship. Understanding the importance of this sense of community, EUR initiates the SMF ambassador system, where one student with a functional impairment can help another. This ambassador would act as a study coach, as well as a buddy, while also contributes to the construction of SMF policies through the panel format.

Aside from that, at EUR the buddy system for new international students is also embedded. These buddies make sure that new students ease into the Rotterdam life and the uni life as smoothly as possible. These activities are carried out with a view to ensuring that all students are accompanied during their study journey and we leave no one behind as a community.

Around 60 students are SMF ambassadors every year.
