RESAVER_2023 | Support to Retirement Savings Vehicle for European Research Institutions and research performing individuals (RESAVER)

Summary
The overall aim of the RESAVER Pension Fund as a significant development relevant for the social security of mobile researchers is to ensure free circulation of researchers by removing pension as an obstacle to mobility which corresponds to the strategic objectives of the Union policy as stipulated in Article 179 TFEU on the establishment of a European Research Area.
This particular proposal aims to i) internalize several management functions resulting in a more (cost)efficient, self-sufficient and leaner organisation, ii) directly contract the technical expert service provider currently contracted through the European Commission, and iii) accelerate RESAVER’s growth through promotional, outreach and dissemination activities. Since RESAVER became operational it showed that it can operate in an efficient and successful way in a large number of countries providing pensions at a low cost. Building on this success, the most significant goal of RESAVER is now to strengthen own capacities and grow in size: we will highlight a number growth objectives (promotion, implementation, partnerships, marketing & sales support and awareness ranging among interested parties). We will also build upon and connected to a previous grant (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101056649 Support to RESAVER Pension Fund - Horizon Europe (Horizon Europe WIDERA Work Programme 2021-2022)
The more research institutions that join the RESAVER, the more effective it will be in removing pensions as a barrier to the mobility of researchers in Europe and the more it will fulfil its purpose of supporting the creation of a European Research Area, allowing for a free circulation of researchers, scientific knowledge and technology in execution of article 179 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
