retirement assignment / pre-retirement assignment


Explanation:
What you are dealing with is a person whose job was eliminated, but who has not yet reached the legal retirement age.

In order to "bridge the gap", the person is given "assignments, exactly as stated in your sentence "participation in various studies, etc." until the gap is bridged and the person can retire with the their pension. In France, the last time I looked, one has to work 40 years, so this is someone who has only worked, say 39 years.

The closest expression in English is - "retirement assignment", as in these examples...
