Developing Researcher Career with HRS4R
External assessment Site Visit on 16 May:? Thank you for participation !
必威 www.beijingaz.com The external assessment includes an internal assessment and a Site Visit. The internal assessment was submitted in March 2019. The Site Visit means that the European Commission assessors will visit our university and interview our staff ie. management, practitioners and researchers in order to see what kind of progress we have had in our development work. The Site Visit took place on 16 May 2019. 36 JYU staff members and three European Commission assessors made the Site Visit a successful one: our researchers' voice was heard. Warmest thanks to all of you for your contribution and opinions! The official assessment results should be received at the latest in August when we will release them via JYU News.?

Based on the 2018 internal assessment the JYU has revised the HRS4R Action Plan.? So far the JYU has three HRS4R action plans:
- the revised action in 2019-2021?(based on the internal assessment in 2018) - valid at present
- the revised action plan in 2015 (based on the internal assessment in 2015) - no longer valid
- the original action plan from 2013 (based on the Gap Analysis from 2012) - no longer valid.
The new JYU strategy is embedded in the current 2018 action plan with the strategy development programmes which are being compiled during spring 2019.
The European Commission (EC) will visit the JYU either in early or late summer 2019 as part of its assessment procedures within the HRS4R. That visit is called a Site Visit. During the site visit the EC assessors from three different organisations will assess how well the JYU has implemented its action plan, our progress and quality and gives us suggestions to improve our way of implementing the actions.?
Take a look into the newest action plan and follow this website to see how the actions are implemented and how the EC Site Visit will proceed.

2013
- HR Excellence in Research acknowledgement to the University of Jyv?skyl? (April 2013)
The University of Jyv?skyl? has received the right to use “HR Excellence in Research” logo. This is a remarkable recognition from EU for the University’s work related to the development of researchers’ professional competence and the attractiveness of research career. The recognition promotes, e.g. the recruitment of talented international researchers and doctoral students.
The recognition signals that the HR policy at the University of Jyv?skyl? can guarantee that the status of researchers at the University meets the EU targets. The position of researchers will be developed further in accordance with the principles of HR Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R). The University of Jyv?skyl? offers researchers a good and inspiring working environment, commits to fair and transparent recruitment and rewarding principles and promotes the principles of the European Charter For Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers in its operations.
- HRS4R, Charter & Code
The Human Resources Strategy for Researchers Incorporating the Charter & Code (HRS4R) is a tool to support the systematic implementation of the Charter & Code in the human resources policies of organisations. The Charter & Code (C&C) refers to two European documents:
? European Charter for Researchers and
? Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers
These two documents provide means to achieve a transparent and open labour market for researchers. They include general principles and requirements associated with the positions, obligations and rights of researchers and their employers, as well as with the recruitment of researchers. A research institution implementing the Charter & Code will be seen as a more attractive and stimulating working environment for researchers who are looking for a new employer or host for their research project. In addition, researchers can rely on that the recruitment and appraisal procedures are fair and transparent in organisations implementing the Charter and Code.
