The Erasmus Debating Society (EDS) is an independent Rotterdam-based debating society. Founded in 1989, it has become one of Europe’s most successful and well-known debating societies. We are an open and informal society, attracting the members mostly from Erasmus University students. We have many international members and our weekly debating evenings are generally conducted in English. The society also organizes many workshops and social activities for its members, such as a member weekend, halloween night and Christmas dinner. External events include the well-known DAPDI, a yearly training event with Oxford tutors. Also, we successfully revived the European Universities Debating Championships in 1999.
