IPRA Doctoral Tutorial 2025

The IPRA Doctorial Tutorial is organized with the purpose of promoting the sharing of research insights in the broad area of pensions with other young scholars across the world. The tutorial consists of three presentations by PhD students affiliated with IPRA partner organizations Netspar as well as the ARC Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research (CEPAR, Australia). Each of the three PhD students gets 20 minutes to present a recent research paper, after which a designated (senior) discussant from one of the partner organizations will give a 10-minute discussion and a further 10-minute general discussion will take place. The setting will be small-scale, with mainly presenters and their advisers, discussants and a small number of senior scholars will attend.
