Lines connect the coordinator with its partners.

Project objective

The nature of pensions requires that the young researchers gain direct access to market and government professionals working in the area. This Network will secure this through seminars, conferences, designated focus groups and internships. The Network will develop close links with policy-makers and regulators, fund sponsors, consulting actuaries, auditing accountants and fund managers. In this way, a bridge in training will be built between pure research and practice.In addition, the Network will ensure the young researchers:- are assigned a mentor to guide them both through their studies and in developing their outside contacts- participate and present papers at the meetings of the network- undertake visits and secondments to other nodes of the network to benefit from the teaching programmes available in those institutions, including seminars- participate in the planned 5-day summer school- participate in relevant CEPR and other nodes' research workshops - attend focus groups organized at CORE and LSE that bring together policy-makers, pension-fund professionals and other stakeholders to discuss industry developments and policy formation etc
