Research Seminars
The Finnish Centre for Pensions organizes research seminars, webinars and conferences in both Finnish and English. The seminars focus on most recent research on topics that are relevant for developing the pension system in Finland and abroad. The seminars seek to bring together researchers, policy makers and professionals from pension-related institutions to debate current issues of pensions and pension system development.
All seminars are open access and free. The link to webinars will be sent to all registered participants per email. The materials of the seminars will be sent to registered participants after the event.

Call for Presentation Proposals: ETK Pension Research Forum 2027– Building Pension Security in Fragmented Careers
Are you conducting research on pensions and retirement? We offer you the opportunity to present your work at the third ETK Pension Research Forum to a broad international audience of pension experts, academics, stakeholders and policymakers.
The ETK Pension Research Forum provides a platform for timely pension research. The theme of the third online Forum, to be held on 15 March 2027, is Building Pension Security in Fragmented Careers. We especially, but not exclusively, invite presentations of research on how pension systems adapt to diverse career paths, including entrepreneurship, different forms of non-standard employment and fragmented careers. Contributions may address, for example, pension coverage, retirement income adequacy or policy solutions that support pension accumulation across changing or fragmented careers. Both single-country and comparative studies are welcome.
The ETK Pension Research Forum provides expert commentators for the presentations. The programme will also include a keynote speech by Monika Queisser (OECD). The event will be moderated by researchers from the Finnish Centre for Pensions.
Submit your extended abstract or full paper by 1 December 2026, via Webropol
