On the afternoon of Thursday 22 June 2017 we would like to welcome all PhD students with a research focus on pensions to this meeting at Tilburg University.

This meeting seeks to bring together PhD students, post-doctoral researchers and academic staff with a research focus on pensions and related topics.
