Welcome to the Netspar website.
Netspar, Network for Studies on Pensions, Aging and Retirement, started operations in 2005. It is a network aimed at connecting the two main groups of pension practice and pension science. The first group consists of government ministries, supervising agencies and other civil service institutions, pension funds, pension providers, insurance companies, banks, and asset liability management companies. The second group consists of Dutch and international pension researchers, and Dutch universities.
Netspar contributes to the ongoing improvement of financing opportunities for the ‘old age’ of Dutch and European citizens through network development, formulating and executing scientific research and knowledge transfer programs.
