'HR Excellence in Research'

We are currently seeking the European Commission's 'HR Excellence in Research' badging, which acknowledges our alignment with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for their Recruitment.

Further information on HR Excellence in Research can be found on the Vitae Policy and Practice web pages.
