HR 01 barevne

The Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences is committed to adhering to the European Charter for Researchers (Charter) and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (Code). Since 2021, we have been a proud holder of the prestigious HR Award, which confirms our compliance with European standards in researcher support, openness and transparency in recruitment processes, and a high-quality working environment.

For an institution and its employees, it represents:

  • Improved quality of human resources management and strategic support for career development;
  • Stimulating working environment that supports research excellence and innovation;
  • Increased prestige and visibility of the institution on national and international level;
  • Advantages in applying for financial resources from grants (e.g. Horizon Europe, TA ČR);
  • Internationalisation, openness, transparency, and attractiveness for foreign researchers.

The Institute of Philosophy of the CAS implements activities related to HR Award in 2020–2022 as part of a project ‘Development of Environment for Professional Growth of the Employees of the Institute of Philosophy of the CAS’ (reg. no. CZ.02.2.69/0.0/0.0/18_054/0014626), which is co-financed from the EU funds. Implementation of the principles of the Charter and the Code involves multi-level steps. In year 2020 our organisation underwent a process of self-assessment. Based on gathered input and opinions of employees, we prepared a gap analysis and an action plan for the following two years 2021-2022. After obtaining the HR Award, the Institute of Philosophy will follow the adopted action plan and implement a Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R).

The Working Group HRS4R is involved in the HR Award implementation process and is constituted of representatives of all departments, and researchers ranging from R1 to R4 level. The Working Group was also actively involved in the process of self-assessment of the organisation and will contribute to the implementation of strategic measures. It cooperates closely with the Steering Committee, which includes representatives of the Institute's top management, researchers and economic staff. The Steering Committee acts also as an advisory body.

This website provides up-to-date information on the progress of the HR Award process and related key documents.
