BBMRI-ERIC joins RESAVER, the first pan-European pension solution for research professionals

 What is RESAVER?

RESAVER is the first multi-country, multi-employer pension solution that aims to enhance the cross-border mobility of researchers. It enables employees of private and public organisations conducting research to keep the same pension arrangement when moving between countries or changing jobs.

Why join RESAVER?

Director General Erik Steinfelder explains why BBMRI-ERIC decided to join RESAVER.

“RESAVER demonstrates that the European Commission understands the practical everyday issues of modern researchers, who are developing their career in parallel with the increasing role of the EU in research, whether within research infrastructures or academic institutions. This is why we joined in 2017 and we look forward to providing RESAVER to our employees from 2019.

RESAVER is already providing us with added value: young talented employees are attracted to BBMRI-ERIC because of RESAVER, allowing us to keep a healthy turnover of highly qualified international staff.”
