MY<strong>ERIM</strong> Account<br />

used to register publications and other results of research. The information is used<br />
for annual reporting and external assessment (http://www.erim.eur.nl, click “My<br />
<strong>ERIM</strong>” in the upper right corner of the site menu). You should be able to log in using<br />
your ERNA account.<br />

The library card can also be used for borrowing books at BIC, the local RSM library in<br />

Working in a Healthy Environment<br />
Every employer is obliged to provide a sound working environment. This means that<br />
your office, desk, chair, and computer should be in such a state that you can work<br />
full time in a pleasant environment without any physical problems (like CANS). For<br />
example, the height of your desk should be adjusted according to your height.<br />
