The fellowships are intended for advanced Ph.D. students, postdocs or junior faculty members (tenure track) from Una Europa Universities, which the University of Zurich is a part of.

• Balance between insurance and poverty reduction
• Flexible retirement options starting from a fixed retirement age
• Intergenerational sustainability of future pension expenditure
• Impact of new family structures
• Ideal proportion of repartition and capitalisation
• Labour form neutrality of pension systems
