European Retirement Week — launch event

Europe’s first ever Retirement Week is organised from 29 November to 3 December at the initiative of 11 European associations. The purpose of European Retirement Week is to provide a platform for a wide range of stakeholders to debate the future of pensions in Europe and raise citizens’ awareness of the need to save for retirement. It opens with a keynote speech by European Commissioner Mairead McGuinness and quick-fire contributions from the participating associations on the key priorities for pensions and trends shaping the pensions landscape.

The launch event takes place at 12h00 CET on 29 November.
