New Short-term Research Projects Launched: Topicality Projects Awarded
Upon the recommendation of the PRC, the Netspar board granted funding to seven new short-term research projects. Some of the issues we will be looking into include the ethics of data science and determining participants’ attitude towards risk. In our short-term projects, sector and science work closely together on current (pension) topics, fitting within the research agenda Netspar NexT. This focuses on pension reform, life cycle planning and society in transition.
