Dear colleagues,
We are organizing a workshop for PhD students on May 17-19, 2017, in Helsinki, Finland.
Titel: "Life-course influences on retirement: Researchers' and stakeholders' perspectives"
During the workshop, PhD students will have the chance to present their research and get feedback from senior researchers working in this field. Moreover, the PhD students will learn about stakeholder engagement, which is a dialogue between researchers and the people who will be affected by the findings of the research. Such a dialogue greatly enhances the societal impact of research, and more and more funding agencies demand it from researchers who apply for funding. Additionally, the PhD students will have the opportunity to participate in an actual stakeholder dialogue with senior researchers and practitioners on the relevance of life-course influences on retirement.
Some of the senior researchers acting as discussants are:
- prof. Traute Mayer, University of Southampton, United Kingdom,
- prof.em. Jorma Sipilä, University of Tampere, Finland,
- prof. Dirk Hofäcker, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, and
- prof. Jonas Radl, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain.
Some of the participants in the stakeholder dialogue are:
- Joakim Palme, Uppsala University, Sweden,
- Anna D’Addio (OECD), and
- representatives of the Finnish Center for Pensions, a Finnish trade union for higher education and a mutual pension insurance.
The workshop is organized by Helsinki University, the Finnish Center for Pensions, the European Social Policy Analysis Network, the Research Network on Ageing in Europe, and the Finnish Social Policy Association.
Abstracts of max. 250 words can be submitted until February 1, 2017, to [log in to unmask]
