The HR Excellence in Research Award is granted to research performing organisations that abide by the 20 principles of the European Charter for Researchers.
Research careers in Europe are fragmented at local, regional, national or sectoral level, not allowing Europe to make the most of its scientific potential. The European Charter ensures researchers can enjoy the same rights and obligations in any European country.
As of 15 May 2018, no formal endorsement of the Charter separately from the commitment to its implementation is possible: institutions that are willing to formally endorse the Charter shall initiate the application for the "HR Excellence in Research Award", which implies a long-term commitment.
