The HR Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) exists to support research institutions in implementing the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers into their daily practices and internal policies.
The European Charter for Researchers describes the rights and obligations to which researchers and the institutions that employ them are subject, while the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers contains rules for the recruitment of researchers that employer institutions should follow to ensure equal treatment for researchers recruited in Europe.
