“HR Excellence in Research”
To date, nearly 1000 institutions from 30 countries have expressed their explicit support for the Charter & Code. Institutions implementing Charter & Code have the right to use the “HR Excellence in Research” logo. This contributes to increased visibility and is important for attracting the best researchers. The University of Oslo and NTNU have the right to use this logo.

In 2009 the “HR Strategy for Researchers” was developed as an approach to implement the Charter & Code, and more and more institutions recognize the benefit of taking part.

The following are five reasons for research institutes to implement the Charter & Code:
1. You support a change in working culture
2. Your join a truly pan-European network consisting of researchers and research organisations
3. You stand for a stimulating and favourable working environment for researchers
4. You show that you care about your researchers/employees
5. You benefit from international visibility by using the “HR Excellence in Research” logo
 

And the following are five reasons for researchers to choose an institute who has earned the right to use the logo “HR Excellence in Research”:
1. Your right as a professional are recognized and enhanced
2. Your mobility experience is valued
3. Your work-life balance is respected
4. Your recruitment will follow a transparent process
5. Your join a truly pan-European network consisting of research organisations and researchers

In addition individual experiences are presented such as the story from Christoph from France who moved to Norway accepting a post-doctoral research fellowship in geology at the University of Oslo. “In cases like mine, I can’t imagine how the system could be any better” says Christoph.
