HR Excellence in Research Award

HR strategy for researchers - HRS4R

BTH has been awarded the “HR Excellence in Research Award”. This means that BTH follows the European Commission’s HR Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R).

HRS4R ensures that BTH lives up to the principles and works continuously to improve researchers’ working conditions and attractive career opportunities.

HR Excellence in Research Award

The award is given to organisations that comply with the European Charter for Researchers and the Guidelines for the Recruitment of Researchers. The goal of implementing the statute is for BTH to become an even more attractive workplace for our researchers.

It should be easy to start working here, to move forward in your research and to see an opportunity to conduct high-quality research in a good working environment.

The HRS4R process

Higher education institutions that agree to implement the Charter follow a process called Human Resources Strategy for Researchers, HRS4R. HRS4R ensures that the university lives up to the principles and works continuously to improve researchers’ working conditions and attractive career opportunities.

The HRS4R process at BTH

HRS4R is a support and tool for employers in the work of implementing the Charter & Code. As an employer, adhering to its 40 principles means committing to acting responsibly and respectfully, providing fair conditions for researchers, with the intention of contributing to the development of the European Research Area. On BTH’s HRS4R project blog you can follow our work to implement the statute.
