What is the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers

In 2005, the European Commission adopted a European Charter for Researchers and a Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. Both documents outline the principles and requirements which should inspire the recruitment procedure and the work conditions for researchers as well as and their activities. Their recommendations are meant for the Member States, the research organisations, the research funders, and the researchers too

The Human Resources Strategy for Researchers is the initiative if the European Commission to support research institutions and funding organisations in the implementation of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers  in their policies and practices. The Human Resources Strategy for Researchers aims at making  these institutions more attractive to researchers looking for a new destination.

The European Commission recognizes with the HR Excellence in Research Award the institutions which make progress in aligning their human resources policies to the 40 principles of the Charter & Code, based on a customized action plan/HR strategy. Up to now, 497 organisations have received the HR Excellence in Research award.
