New Theme Projects: €1 Million Total Awarded for Three-year Research Projects
30 September 2020
Following scientific validation by the Scientific Council and a positive recommendation from the Partner Research Council, the Netspar Board of Directors has awarded three applications for theme projects grants of €250,000 each:
- Climate risks in investment portfolios – Mathijs van Dijk (EUR).
- Individual pension choices in uncertain times: Advancing digital support for risky pension decisions – Benedict Dellaert, Bas Donkers (EUR).
- Pension monitor: Understanding causes and consequences of trust in pension institutions – Harry van Dalen (NIDI)
The scheduled start date for the projects is January 1, 2021.
A total of nine proposals were submitted. In August, Instituut Gak had already selected one of those proposals to receive a subsidy of €250,000, awarding it to Dr. Mark Visser (RUN): “Understanding old age inequality: the impact of work, family and health trajectories on post-retirement economic, social and pscychological well-being across Europe”.
Netspar is very pleased with this additional funding from Instituut Gak for pension and retirement research.
