The Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) is the initiative, launched by the European Commission, to align the institution’s researchers’ human resource policies with the 40 principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (Charter and Code).
The Charter and Code address to researchers as well as research employers and funders in both the public and private sectors, are key elements in the EU’s policy to boost researchers’ careers. Institutions with Horizon 2020 projects are recommended to adhere to the HRS4R.
Successful implementation of the HRS4R results in the award of the “HR Excellence in Research” hallmark. It is a recognition of the institution’s commitment to improving the working conditions and career development of researchers.
