The European Charter for Researchers & the Code of Conduct for their Recruitment is the European Commission Recommendation No. 2005/251/EC, which obliges the research institutions to create friendly working conditions, career development and transparent processes of recruitment. It is addressed to researchers, employers and funders, working in the public and private sectors. Institutions which implement the assumptions of the Charter and the Code successfully may apply for the right to use the HR Excellence in Research award from the European Commission. Gdańsk University of Technology received this right in July 2017.
