HR Excellence in Research

The European Charter for Researchers also recognizes the value of all forms of mobility as a means of further professional development of researchers. In this sense, the Charter provides a framework for researchers, employers and funders to encourage them to behave responsibly and professionally in their work environment, as well as to warn each other as professionals.

The European Charter for Researchers is addressed to all researchers in the European Union at all stages of their research careers and covers all fields of scientific research in the public and private sectors, regardless of the nature of the position and employment, the legal status of the employer or the type of organization or institution in which the research is conducted. The Charter takes into account the various functions performed by researchers, who are appointed not only to carry out research and/or development activities, but also to carry out tasks related to scientific supervision, consultancy, management or administration. It is based on the premise that it is the overarching responsibility of both researchers and their employers and/or funders to comply with relevant national or regional legislation.

The implementation of these principles is supported by the Open, Transparent and Merit-based Recruitment Policy (OTM-R), which consists of, among others, providing clear and transparent information about the entire selection process, publishing clear and concise job advertisements with links to detailed information on (e.g. required competencies and responsibilities, working conditions, entitlements, training opportunities, career development, gender equality policy),  as well as ensuring that the required level of qualifications and competences is in line with the needs of the position and does not constitute a barrier to applying.

• Distinction for the University as an institution that creates the best working conditions for scientists in accordance with European standards in the implementation of scientific or research and development (R+D) activities
