We invite researchers to submit their paper (or extended abstract) by September 28, 2026 at the latest. Not only senior researchers, but particularly also junior researchers are very welcome to submit their work.
Please fill in the register tab, if you choose “submitter” you can upload your paper.

We will try to find appropriate discussants for all accepted papers, which means that you will be requested to send us a full paper by Thursday, September 28, giving your discussant enough time to prepare.

The feedback on previous Netspar Pension Days has shown that the comments of discussants are very valuable to presenters, so we would highly appreciate if you could indicate your willingness to act as a discussant (even if you do not submit a paper).

Presenting, discussing & chairing tips for young scholars and researchers

Presenting, discussing & chairing are key skills in an academic’s toolkit, and require practice as well as considering explicit and implicit norms in the profession. Yet, it is not always easy to find good advice on how to do this. In a brief online session Netspar scientific director Mathijs van Dijk will share his main tips on presenting, discussing & chairing, drawing from his own experience. There will also be room for questions.

Rondetafelbijeenkomst kostentransparantie

Kostentransparantie is belangrijk voor de verantwoording over de pensioenuitvoering naar de deelnemers en breder naar toezichthouders en naar “de samenleving”. Kostentransparantie kan ook een prikkel voor efficiency zijn doordat vanzelf de vraag op tafel komt waarom de kosten afwijken van die bij andere uitvoerders en of er mogelijkheden zijn die kosten te reduceren zonder dat dat ten koste gaat van b.v. het pensioenresultaat of het gewenste serviceniveau of de communicatie. Transparante toerekening van kosten naar (groepen) deelnemers kan bijdragen aan de legitimiteit van het nieuwe pensioenstelsel.
