Agenda


Quality System:

EFQM

Fundamental Concept Sustaining Outstanding Results

Adding value for customers Creating a Sustainable Future Lead with Vision, Inspiration & Integrity Develop Organisational Capability Harnessing Innovation and Creativity Managing with Agility Succeeding through the Talent of People

http://www.ufqm.com/


Can Quality in Research be managed with an

Institutional Approach?

If yes – How? Where are the pitfalls?

Leading question


2 Initiatives that have been adopted

▶ HRS4R

Human Ressource Strategy for Researchers

▶ Profiling Research Units – a Set of Application

oriented Indicators

….. and in aR&D ?

(Applied Research and Development)


HR Excellence in Research - Charter & Codes

The European Charter for Researchers

The Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers


Boost Economy through R&D

▶ EURAXESS Network

▶ Charter and Codes

- Support researchers career development at all stages

- Improve work conditions for researchers

Overall Goal - Strengthening the

European Research Area ERA
