16/01/2019, the Heyrovský Institute gained the HR Excellence in Research Award (HR Award) in recognition of its ongoing commitment to adopting the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.

In March 2005, the European Commission adopted the Recommendation (2005/251 /EC) on the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (C&C), specifying the set of principles for an improved research system. The C&C principles define the roles, responsibilities and entitlements of researchers and their employers intending to create an attractive, open and sustainable labour market with equal rights and obligations in the European Union. Implementing the C&C principles in research institutions is supported by the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R). Maintaining the HR Award is not a given; institutions defend this certification in regular cycles.

All stages of HIPC’s commitment to the HRS4R

1. HIPC endorsed the commitment to the C&C on 15/11/2017.
