HR Award at the University of Hradec Králové

In January 2020, the University of Hradec Králové joined the HRS4R (Human Resources Strategy for Researchers) process with the aim of obtaining the European HR Excellence in Research Award (HR Award), which demonstrates institution’s commitment to providing high-quality working conditions and systematically developing its human resources policies in research. UHK successfully received the award on 30 November 2021.

The HR Excellence in Research Award is a prestigious European recognition granted to institutions that are committed to implementing the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and to continuously improving working conditions and professional development opportunities for researchers.

In a letter addressed to the European Commission in April 2020, UHK committed itself to implementing the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers and to progressively applying the principles of the European Charter for Researchers.

  • implementing the principles of the European Charter for Researchers;
  • ensuring transparent, open and fair conditions for recruitment and selection;
  • supporting the professional and career development of researchers;
  • creating a high-quality, safe and attractive working environment;
  • strengthening UHK’s international reputation and attractiveness as an employer;
  • systematically and continuously improving HR processes in line with European standards.
