Previous themes
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.

  2. Private retirement provision
