HR Award

To improve conditions for researchers across the European Union, the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers have been adopted.

On the basis of the Charter and the Code, European research and academic institutions are implementing the practices of the "Human Resources Strategy for Researchers" (HRS4R). Institutions that succeed in doing so will be awarded the "HR Excellence in Research" (HR AWARD) by the European Commission.


The benefits of implementing these principles for AMBIS University:

  • Increase the prestige of our university,
  • guaranteeing a high quality and transparent recruitment process,
  • promoting the professional growth of researchers,
  • continuous improvement of the working environment,
  • a greater chance to obtain research funding from European and domestic research support programmes - advantages in TAČR programmes and others.
