223 full professors in the national WOPI comparison
At EUR, this scale must be considered alongside the gown room and faculty differences in stoles, caps and piping. Because the national series excludes Gezondheid, this is explicitly not a complete count of all professorial roles associated with Erasmus MC.
Definition: regular and personal-chair full professors with a paid employment contract, counted as people, at the end of 2024, excluding the Health field. Special-chair professors are not included in this population and are reported separately in the source. This sector source is separate from the number of gown sources in the introductory banner.

What the official sources show about Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam
Only explicitly published information is presented as fact. Non-public design details are not filled in with assumptions.
Faculty differences
The official source mentions different colours for stoles, caps and piping by faculty.
Public examples
Yellow for economists and green for physicians are given as examples. The source describes these colour differences as unique to EUR.
Intensive ceremonial use
The source states that three doctoral defences take place on some days and that scheduling defences is an important part of the beadle’s work.
Rank, role and ceremony
Who wears what according to the public record?
The same person may be subject to a different dress rule depending on rank, role and ceremony.
| Role | Publicly confirmed or qualified status |
|---|---|
| Full professor | Wears an ensemble in which the faculty-specific stole, cap and piping may visibly differ. |
| Committee member with ius promovendi | The current regulations determine formal entitlement to wear a gown; check the role and version before the ceremony. |
| Beadle | Safeguards academic traditions, leads the procession and coordinates the ceremony. |
| Gown room management | Management must distinguish faculty, wearer, size and ensemble components to prevent mix-ups. |
From protocol to commission
What does this mean for a gown maker?
A reliable academic gown commission starts with the university, role and ceremony, followed by material, pattern and measurements.
Faculty is a key detail
A gown maker must record the faculty as well as the university and role. Without that detail, colour use may be incorrect.
Manage components as a set
Stole, cap, piping and gown must be labelled, fitted and stored as a matching ensemble.
Colour requires current confirmation
The public examples demonstrate differences but do not constitute a complete current colour chart for every faculty.
Use is not a sale
Several doctoral defences on one day demonstrate ceremonial use; they do not establish how many gowns are purchased or replaced.
Transparent research limits
What cannot be inferred from the public source
Yellow and green are confirmed examples, not a complete public faculty colour chart.
No complete public provision on loan gowns, sizing or bands was found in the heritage source examined.
For every commission, check the current EUR regulations, faculty and approved model.
