HR Award

The European Commission awards the prestigious HR Award (the HR Excellence in Research Award), for excellence in human resources management in the scientific environment. For academics and researchers, the organization with HR Award delivers a guarantee of a European standard of care for employees, higher ethical standards, openness and transparency in selection procedures and the quality of the working environment. For our faculty, the HR Award logo also makes it more attractive to reach researchers from abroad or to receive grants. The HR Award, awarded to research organizations in Europe, is nowadays considered as an international quality standard in the management and development of human resources in science and research. Our faculty in cooperation with other faculties and the management of UWB has developed an action plan that will contribute to meeting the quality standards of management and human resources development and maintaining the HR Award in the years to come.

The Faculty of Applied Sciences received this prestigious award in August 2019.
