PhD meeting on Pensions 2022

We are very pleased to announce that the annual PhD Meeting on Pensions, an initiative of ITEM of Maastricht University and CCP of Tilburg University, will again take place in 2022. This year we are excited that also Netspar will join us in hosting this event. On Tuesday June 28, 2022, we would like to welcome you to this meeting at Tilburg University.

The meeting seeks to bring together PhD students with a research focus on pensions and related topics. It has a multidisciplinary scope, welcoming researchers from all disciplines. As a PhD student you will get the opportunity to present and discuss your research, expand your network and find collaborative opportunities. We will also organize one or two interesting workshops on communication and networking to provide you with inspiration and skills for your research practice. Senior researchers are very much encouraged to join us on the 28th to reflect on and stimulate the discussion. Please forward the invitation to fellow researchers with a research focus on pensions.

You can register by clicking the link and let us know if you are willing to present your research.

We look forward to welcoming you in Tilburg!

Kind regards,

Kennisgroep Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Beleggen online sessie 3

In 2026 zet Netspar de Kennisgroep Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Beleggen (MVB) voort. In deze kennisgroep komen pensioenprofessionals en onderzoekers drie keer online samen om kennis te delen, inzichten te verdiepen en actuele ontwikkelingen binnen MVB te bespreken. De kennisgroep biedt een vertrouwde en interactieve setting waarin ruimte is voor uitwisseling en verdieping. We bouwen voort op eerdere edities, met een vernieuwde aanpak: meer interactie, meer verdieping en een sterkere focus op concrete, toepasbare inzichten. Het doel van de kennisgroep is tweeledig: enerzijds het versterken van de MVB-community binnen Netspar, en anderzijds het laagdrempelig delen van actuele kennis. Daarnaast halen we relevante vragen op voor nieuw onderzoek en proberen we – waar mogelijk – direct antwoorden te formuleren op vraagstukken uit de praktijk.
