SWPS University has met all requirements necessary to renew its HR Excellence in Research certification for the next three years, reaffirming its dedication to fostering a supportive environment for scientific inquiry. This prestigious recognition, granted by the European Commission, confirms our adherence to the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.
HR Excellence in Research Award: Commitment to researchers
At SWPS University we prioritize research development and knowledge sharing, recognizing that good research thrives when researchers are supported and valued. By embracing the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers—guiding documents outlining hiring standards and working conditions—we ensure fair and transparent recruitment and evaluation processes. We are committed to creating a stimulating environment for scientific research by supporting various research initiatives, promoting equal opportunity policies, facilitating staff mobility, offering training, and financing research projects.
We first received the HR Excellence in Research Award in 2016. The renewal of the award underscores our continuous alignment with the 40 principles of the Charter and Code and confirms SWPS University's appeal to researchers seeking employment or host institutions for research projects.
We are proud of the renewal of our HR Excellence in Research certification. The experts from the European Commission, who visited us during the evaluation, highly appreciated our flexibility and ability to adapt to the needs of our academic staff. They also commended our transparent recruitment, onboarding, and compensation processes. Additionally, they noted our effective internal communication and easy access to information, along with the high level of satisfaction our employees have with their working conditions. We are pleased that the efforts of the many individuals involved in implementing the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) have been recognized. This acknowledgment motivates us to continue our efforts to create an even better working environment.
