Researchers about Netspar
“Only at a later point in my research project did I come into contact with Netspar. I was then given the tip to present and discuss my research through the knowledge network. I ended up doing that during the Netspar International Pension Workshop and Pension Day. These meetings were very useful because of their multidisciplinary nature. In the process, as a psychologist, I received a very different set of questions than I might expect from researchers in my own field. For example, an economist asked me about interest rates and inflation. In turn, I was able to incorporate that into the next step of my research.”
