HRS4R/HR Award

CzechGlobe as the European Centre of Excellence and the project partner of many EU projects fulfils and fully supports principals of the European Charter for Researchers and a Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. and based on the evaluation of the European Commission the prestigious award – HR Excellence in Research Award – in the Human Resources field, was granted to us on 25th October 2019.

HR Excellence in Research Award is an award granted to those institutions that implement the HRS4R strategy (The Human Resources Strategy for Researchers) based on principals of the Charter and Code.

CzechGlobe’s participation in building the European Research Area and the quality of our Human Resources Strategy are our high priority. Applying for the HR Excellence in Research Award was just another logical step following the previous project in the field of human resources – the EGERA project.

In order to obtain the HR Excellence in Research award the internal GAP analysis was developed from May to November 2018. The aim of this analysis was to compare our current practice with the Charter and Code requirements. Representatives of scientific and administrative positions were involved and the analysis subsequently resulted into the preparation of the Action plan.
All documents were submitted to the European Commission for evaluation in June 2019.

By awarding the HR Excellence in Research Award in October 2019, we entered the implementation phase of the project with the following schedule:

Implementation Phase 2019 – 2024
   
HR Excellence in Research Award granting 26. 10. 2019
Implementation of HRS4R according to the Action Plan from November 2019
Internal evaluation of the HRS4R implementation October – December 2021
Interim Assessment of the FEuropean Comission 9.12.2021
Implementation of HRS4R according to the revised Action Plan From December 2021
External evaluation by the European Commission 3 years after internal evaluation

After 24 months of implementation of the actions outlined in the initial Action plan, which were heavily influenced by the COVID pandemic, we elaborated an Interim Assessment report on our progress in the HRS4R, where we indicated how the HRS4R has embedded into our policies and practice. Based on this internal evaluation we prepared a revised Action plan for the next 36 months. 

This updated Action plan for 2022-2024 together with the internal review was submitted to the European Commission for further assessment on October 25th 2021.

The assessors of the EC have concluded that the implementation of the Action Plan is ensured in a robust and systematic way and we can progress with the implementation of appropriate and improved quality actions as described in the new Action Plan.

Based on this decision, which has been confirmed on December 9th 2021 we started the new phase of the whole implementation of the HRS4R.

The HRS4R process will continue in a cyclical way, with an assessment for HR Award renewal every 36 months.

Benefits of implementing HRS4R for CzechGlobe and researchers

  • Creation of a long-term sustainable, international, prestigious and transparent working environment open to both domestic and foreign top researchers.
  • Connection with the Europe-wide network of research organizations.
  • Improving the quality of human resources care.
  • Advantages in the grant programmes of TAČR (The Technology Agency of the Czech Republic), HORIZON 2020 and others.
  • Attractive conditions for building a career and professional growth in research and development.
  • Guarantee of transparent recruitment of new researchers.
