HRS4R / HR Award

On January 16th, 2024, the University of Defence received the HR Award (HR Excellence in Research Award). The Award is awarded by the European Commission and is considered an international standard for quality in the management and development of human resources in science and research. For researchers, institutions with this award guarantee a European standard of staff care, openness and transparency in the recruitment process and the quality of their working environment. For institutions, the HR Award logo means greater attractiveness when approaching scientists from abroad or for obtaining grants.

Other relevant information is available on the EURAXESS website https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/hrs4r.

Since June 2024, an updated version of the website is available at https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/hrexcellenceaward.

The Award reflects the University’s commitment to continuously improve its human resources policy in line with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, in particular the commitment to achieve fair and transparent selection and evaluation procedures. Sustaining the HR Award means meeting the challenges set out in the Human Resource Strategy for Science (HRS4R) Action Plan of the University of Defence – (download here), which will be subject to ongoing scrutiny by the European Commission evaluators.
