Netspar Introduction for academic researchers

Netspar, the Network for Studies on Pensions, Aging and Retirement, is a knowledge network based at Tilburg University. Since 2005, we have promoted a better understanding of the social and economic impact of pensions, aging, and retirement in the Netherlands through the development and dissemination of knowledge.

Netspar offers financial support (research grants ranging from €20k to €350k) for independent scientific research and shares it through publications, events, webinars, and education. We maintain a network of industry partners and academic researchers that reflects the diversity of our range of interests, and we stimulate the cooperation between these two worlds. Keeping this network up to date is vital for achieving our goals.

Have you ever considered participating? Are you perhaps hesitant, or overwhelmed by all the information?

On November, 26th you can attend a no-obligation 45-minute online information session on Netspar’s activities.
We will focus on the research possibilities and our grants process.

Please register below if you would like to attend.

If the date is not convenient for you, please feel free to reach out to [email protected], and we will let you know when we organize another session to get acquainted with Netspar and its network.

We look forward to seeing you online on!

IPW – International Pension Workshop 2026

Na twee succesvolle edities van het gezamenlijke pensioenevent over keuzebegeleiding, bundelen de Pensioenfederatie, Netspar en het Verbond van Verzekeraars opnieuw hun krachten. Dit jaar staat in het teken van doenvermogen: het vermogen van (potentiële) deelnemers om intenties daadwerkelijk om te zetten in actie. We verkennen samen hoe je deelnemers niet alleen bewust maakt van hun pensioenkeuzes, maar hen ook daadwerkelijk in beweging krijgt. Dat staat los van denkvermogen of intelligentie.

Working longer for social good? – Raymond Montizaan – After-lunch webinar

Hoeveel rendement zijn mensen bereid op te geven voor maatschappelijk verantwoorde beleggingen in hun pensioen? En hoe verandert dit als ze precies weten wat lagere rendementen betekenen voor hun pensioeninkomen of voor de duur van hun loopbaan? We laten zien hoe extra informatie over financiële gevolgen en mogelijke langere werktijd hun keuzes beïnvloedt. De resultaten geven beleidsmakers concreet inzicht in hoe deelnemers afwegingen maken tussen financieel rendement en maatschappelijke impact, en hoe communicatie over deze gevolgen keuzes kan sturen.
