Book excerpt: "In 2009 the European Commission commissioned a feasibility study of a pan-European pension fund that could match the needs of researchers in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). The study was carried out by Hewitt Associates on behalf of the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) over the period June 2009 - April 2010. Within this project, Hewitt Associates examined the legal, technical and financial terms and requirements that should be considered to set up a viable pan-European framework for occupational pension arrangements for researchers. The report found that there is a demand for a cross-border pension fund for EU/EEA based researchers, and that it is possible in principle to establish such an arrangement. Based upon the outcome of the feasibility study the European Commission launched a project in 2011 to monitor the implementation of a pan-European Pension Fund. The aim of the three year project was to support employers willing to prepare and establish such a fund."--Editor.
