By sending the Accession Letter on 6 January 2020, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences joined the 1249 European scientific organizations committed to apply and adhere to the principles laid down in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. Implementation of this Project began on 1 January 2020 and it is financially supported from the Operational Programme Research, Development and Education, which is led by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.
The purpose of the Charter and the Code is to ensure that relations between researchers and their employers contribute to the successful scientific work, development of their scientific career and transparent recruitment of new employees. This object will be achieved through the implementation of Human Resources Strategy for Researcher. Through the realization of the Project, we started the journey to obtain the "HR Excellence in Research" award, shortly HR Award, awarded by the European Commission after meeting strict criteria, and which is considered a brand of a successful and competitive scientific institution.
Description of the Project:
The Project aims to set up the organization´s internal environment to meet the conditions described in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers and to meet the criteria for the HR Award. The internal rules and guidelines of the organization will be unified and some internal processes will be strengthened. The institute´s competences in the field of international cooperation and popularization will be improved. The staff of the institute will be supported through training and internships.
