Netspar's themes are intended to stimulate entrepreneurship, commitment and coherence. Every year, Netspar allocates up to € 1 Million each to three theme-based projects; the annual awards are given for a three-year period. The theme groups include researchers from various universities and institutes. Themes involve all three pillars of Netspar: research, education and knowledge exchange.
Themes started in 2006:
-
Income, health and work across the life cycle
Theme coordinators: Maarten Lindeboom and Eddy van Doorslaer

Private retirement provision

Valuation and risk management for insurance companies and pension funds
