HR Strategy for Researchers in Universidad de León

Español

On January 25th, 2019 the Universidad de León declared to the European Commission its commitment to implement the principles of the Charter & Code, for which it adopted the procedure called “Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R)”.

This process begins with a gap analysis on the degree of compliance with each of the 40 principles of the Charter & Code, and the preparation of an Action Plan to correct any deviations that have been detected.

The HRS4R procedure began at the University of León with the creation of a working group chaired by the Vice-rector for Research, and which included the heads of the different services involved in human resource management, research management and the transfer of knowledge, as well as a representation of researchers of different levels.

Thanks to the effort of this working group and the participation of nearly 300 members of our University community, the initial phase of the process has been carried out, with the approval of the Action Plan by the Governing Council of the Universidad de León on December 17th, 2019.

The gap analysis carried out and the proposed Action Plan passed the initial assessment, so that the University of León can use the “HR Excellence in Research” award since September 7th, 2020, to promote a favourable and stimulating work environment for researchers in the institution. Following the HRS4R procedure, on September 6, 2022, the Internal Report and the Revised Action Plan were sent for interim evaluation.

All the information related to the actions contemplated for the different phases of this process will be made available to the ULE research community.
