The European Commission grants the HR Award (HR Excellence in Research logo) to research institutions that implement the HRS4R (The Human Resources Strategy for Researchers). This strategy is based on the 40 principles set out in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. To date, the European Commission has awarded this award to more than 580 European research institutions.
On December 2, 2019, the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University subscribed to the principles enshrined in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, and as a research institution committed to creating quality working conditions, support for professional development and transparent recruitment procedures for researchers.
On April 14, 2021, the European Commission decided to grant HR Excellence in Research. Our faculty thus advanced to the implementation phase of the project, during which the steps of the Action Plan will be gradually implemented.
These activities have been supported by the Operational Programme Research, Development and Education in frame of the project “Development of Human Resources and other strategic areas to support research at MU (HR4MUII)“, nr. CZ.02.2.69/0.0/0.0/18_054/0014703.
