RESEARCH MASTER PROJECTS
These Netspar projects are to stimulate young researchers that just start their career, to choose for one topic within the fields of aging and retirement. Research Master Projects are based on scholarships of € 3,000 given to second year students of a Research Master program at one of the scientific members of Netspar. Projects run for one year and result in a Reserach Master thesis.
