A pension-investment scheme for researchers in Europe is open for contributions. The Retirement Savings Vehicle for European Research Institutions (RESAVER) aims to help mobile researchers within the European Economic Area (EEA) to save for retirement and to supplement their social-security pensions. Those eligible to contribute include researchers with employment contracts within the EEA and researchers coming into the EEA, as long as the employers are members of the scheme. The EEA includes Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and European Union member states. Early-career scientists, who move often between institutions and nations, have baulked at institutional pension-savings plans because they often do not stay long enough to gain vesting rights and must forfeit contributions when they leave. RESAVER says that contributors to the new scheme may withdraw their full assets, including dividends and external contributions, if they move within the EEA. If they leave, they can collect the account's total funds at retirement.
