HR Excellence in Research evaluation at ISS PAS
On Thursday 29 June 2023, the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences hosted the Evaluators visiting on behalf of the European Commission. The visit was related to the renewal of the ‘HR Excellence in Research’ logo – the certificate is awarded by the Commission to institutions which provide researchers with the best working and development conditions, foster mobility and pursue a policy of equal opportunities. ISS PAS joined the group of Polish institutions entitled to use the HR logo in 2017.
The June meeting and discussions were successful, and the Experts provided the Commission with their recommendations. The official report confirms the positive assessment of the Institute, expressed, among other things, in the following passage from the report: “ISS-PAS is actively supporting academic and non-academic staff at their professional growth using own resources and externalfunding. The institute strived to ensure its strategy actually responds to the needs of its constituency (…). Although the action plan was quite ambitious and challenging, they have invested significant efforts in implementing the HR strategy. (…) The approach of ISS-PAS towards HRS4R is remarkable”.
We are therefore pleased to announce that the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences – after some minor adjustments, which should be implemented in the near future – is still entitled use the “HR Excellence in Research” logo. This is a recognition which we are very happy about!
