due to monthly contributions or premiums into one or more pension systems. Especially as a mobile researcher who works in different countries and has been affiliated to several pension schemes in his/her working life, it is not easy to keep track and handle the complex pension issue. This was one of the reasons the participants at a FYP pension event in Bremen indicated, when being asked about their motivation to join the 3 hours lecture named ’Who will pay my pension some day…?’
| The Welcome Centre Bremen had invited to the training again and around 40 researchers joined the event and left the Rotunde - an impressing high-tech room - with new knowledge on the German and European Pension Landscapes and the FYP initiative. ‘Make this information more accessible for mobile workers. It would have been great to know about this before’, one statement was. ‘The FYP initiative/website is very helpful and important. Just continue!!’, it was commented on the feedback sheets. |  |
The organizers of the event and the FYP team were happy about the positive feedback. ‘In particular the appreciating reactions on the FYP website and its new tracking function encourage us to move forward’, the FYP representative said. She asked the audience to ‘share this opinion’. ‘We would be thankful if you could help us to spread FYP as a source of comprehensive pension information for mobile researchers! The FYP website is an ongoing work in progress – comments and suggestions are always wanted!’
Many thanks to the research institutes and universities for hosting us and to the participants for joining the event in Bremen and elsewhere in 2016 (Frankfurt, Tübingen, Berlin, Bielefeld, Cologne, Heidelberg, Stuttgart and Göttingen). Now we have had the last pension event for the year 2016, but we are currently planning the Roadmap for 2017!
