HRS4R

The Human Resources Strategy for Researchers

On 13 July 2020, SAS became a recipient of the European Commission’s International HR Excellence in Research Award. It has thus acquired the right to use the HR Award logo. Each institution that has received an award has also committed to the principles contained in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers from the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R). By receiving the HRS4R award, SAS is committed to fully implement the European Union’s recommendations on the Principles for open, transparent and merit-based recruitment of researchers and other staff (hereafter referred to as OTM-R). Staff positions within SAS organizations are filled in accordance with a selection process that adheres to the principles of employee selection and recruitment established for public research institutions of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. This procedure has received approval from the Presidium of the Slovak Academy of Sciences on 12 March 2025.
