We are proud holder of the HR Excellence in Research Award
What does the HR Excellence in Research Award mean?
The HR Excellence in Research Award is a recognition granted by the European Commission to research institutions that have successfully aligned their HR strategy with the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R), thereby committing to creating a fair, motivating, and high-quality working environment for researchers.
It is not just a label – it is proof that our institution:
-
Emphasises equal opportunities and ethical research principles
-
Promotes transparency in recruitment procedures
-
Ensures quality working conditions
-
Supports the professional development and training of researchers
The HR Excellence in Research initiative is based on the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.
The Charter rests on four pillars:
Researcher Assessment, Recruitment and Career Progression
Recruitment, Assessment and Career Development of Researchers
Transparent and Merit-Based Procedures
Working Conditions and Practices
Working Conditions and Work Environment
Work–Life Balance, Stability, and Support for Mobility
Research Careers and Talent Development
Professional Development, Training and Mentoring
Career Planning and Skills Development
What does this mean in practice at SCI MUNI?
Until 2022, the HR strategy of the Faculty of Science at Masaryk University was supported by a national project entitled “Strategic Management Development of a Research Organisation in Line with the Requirements for the HR Award”. This initiative was part of the five-year OP VVV project “Human Resources Development and Internationalization of Research at MU” (HR4MU), co-funded by the European Union.
At Masaryk University, based on an exemption granted by the European Commission, the HR Excellence in Research Award is held by all faculties, as well as CEITEC and the Institute of Computer Science. These units are defined in the Statutes of Masaryk University as constituent parts that form the university (Statutes of MU, Part Four, Organisational Structure of MU, Article 14 Constituent Parts Statutes MU | Masaryk University). More information is available on the website: HR Award | Masaryk University.
