On February 14th, 2018, the University of Burgos acquired the commitment with the European Commission to adopt the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers -Charter and Code-, documents that constitute the frame of reference at the European Union for an optimal management of research talent, defining in 40 principles the rights and obligations of researchers and the entities that hire them.
The adoption of the Charter and Code is regulated by the so-called "Human Resources Strategy for Researchers" -HRS4R- process that every institution must complete to obtain the HR Excellence in Research seal, which includes the realization of a diagnosis of the situation on the degree of compliance with the principles of the Charter and Code and the definition of an Action Plan to correct the detected deviations and implement research human resources management actions in accordance with the quality standards represented by those principles.
The ad-hoc working team led by the Vice-Rector for Research, Transfer and Innovation, José Miguel García, with the participation of leaders from various university services and representatives of the research community, drafted the 2019-2020 Action Plan, setting the basis to continue improving our practices in the human resources area. At the end of the period, the Action Plan was reviewed in order to adapt it to new European and national regulations and guidelines, correct deviations and strengthen ongoing initiatives. This culminated in the renewed Action Plan 2020-2024 which was applicable until March 2024.
Recently, after the end of the 2020-2024 Action Plan period, the working team has carried out a wide internal review of the initiatives and actions implemented in previous Action Plans. This process, aligned with the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4S), has allowed us to evaluate, update and strengthen our practices to continue promoting excellence in our institution.
With these actions, the University of Burgos shows its commitment to excellence in Human Resources management, which are materialised in a new renewed Action Plan 2024-2027 that further strengthens, if possible, the HR Excellence award at the University.
