Project outputs
In 2019, the CRI subscribed to the principles constituted in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. It is a set of general principles and requirements which specifies the roles, responsibilities, and entitlements of researchers as well as of employers and/or funders of researchers. It constitutes a framework for researchers, employers and funders which invites them to act responsibly and as professionals within their working environment, and to recognise each other as such.
The CRI implements the HRS4R by performing thorough analysis involving questionnaire and interviews (GAP Analysis). They identify possible imperfections of current human resources policy. Subsequently, the specified Action Plan was created. It strengthens the CRI human resources strategy and achieves the C&C principles.
