Mini symposium ter gelegenheid van het afscheid van Lans Bovenberg van Tilburg University

This is a Dutch Speaking Event.

As one of the founders of Netspar, Lans Bovenberg has played a major role in the discussion surrounding the reform of the Dutch pension system. After more than 15 years of discussion, in December 2022, the House of Representatives decided to significantly reform the Dutch pension system by adopting the Future Pensions Act. The law is currently being discussed in the Senate, after which the new system is expected to apply in 2027. In the meantime, social partners, fund boards, accountability bodies, works councils, etc. and also the participants themselves still have to make many choices in order to implement the new system for their specific situation.

During this symposium, on the occasion of the farewell of Prof. Dr. Lans Bovenberg as professor at Tilburg University back and forth:
What has become of the intended goals and ideals? What are the main points of attention for the coming years?

After a kick-off by Lans, Peter Gortzak and Theo Kocken react and we conclude with a discussion among all those present.
