The essence of the European HR policy “HR Strategy for Researchers” is based on the principles of the “European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers,” which have been in effect so far. Starting from January 2024, the Charter and Code will be replaced by an updated document titled “European Charter for Researchers,” the content of which has been adapted to the current challenges, the evolving scientific environment, and academic careers.

The new Charter for Researchers is an annex to the EU Council recommendations of December 18,2023 regarding European frameworks aimed at attracting and retaining talent in the fields of scientific research, innovation and entrepreneurship  in Europe   – Annex II, from page 18.
