HR Award and technology transfer in CDV

On 20 January 2020 Transport Research Centre committed to the principles enshrined in the European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. The aim of the institution is to receive a certificate HR AWARD, which is awarded by the European Commission to institutions which implement strategy HRS4R (The Human Resources Strategy for Researchers) based on these principles.

The first step is processing internal GAP analysis, whose goal is to compare the existing situation in the institution with the Charter and the Code. GAP analysis includes a questionnaire survey among employees. Afterwards, an action plan is drawn for the process of implementation of measures leading to meeting principles enshrined in the Charter and the Code.

Strategy benefits for researchers:

  • improved quality of human resources care,
  • development of researchers’ professional growth,
  • creating conditions for better career growth in R&D,
  • better prestige of the research organization for researchers,
  • quality recruitment and selection of new researchers,
  • integration with the European network of research organizations, international attractiveness,
  • receive funding for research from European and Czech programmes supporting research, and advantages in programmes of Technological Agency of the Czech Republic, HORIZON 2020 and others.
