HR Award
The aim of the Human Resource Strategy for Researchers (“HRS4R”) of the Institute of Physiology of the CAS is to align its policies and practices for research staff with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers & the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (“Charter & Code”). The principles of the Charter & Code ensure that the relationship between researchers and employers is conducive to successful research performance and to the career development of researchers.The aim of the Human Resource Strategy for Researchers (“HRS4R”) of the Institute of Physiology of the CAS is to align its policies and practices for research staff with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers & the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (“Charter & Code”).

About HR Award
On 21 June 2018 the Institute endorsed the Charter & Code principles to begin its commitment to implement its principles throughout the organization. For the period 2018-2022, the Institute secured funding for its HRS4R activities from the project „Rozvoj HR kapacit, internacionalizace, popularizace a využití IP” (2020-2022) of the Operational Programme Research, Development and Education of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, reg. no. CZ.02.2.69/0.0/0.0/16_028/0006226
Action plan
Revised Action Plan (2021-2024)
On 21 April 2021, the interim analysis was submitted to the European Commission for review and the revised action plan for 2021-2024 was published. On 29 April 2021, the European Commission informed the Institute of Physiology of the positive consensus report of the assessors of our HR Award interim report.
HR Excellence in Research Award (2019)
On 13 March 2019, the European Commission awarded the Institute of Physiology of the CAS with the HR Excellence in Research Award. Our action plan was accepted by the assessors of the European Commission and the Institute was awarded the HR Excellence in Research Award logo for a period of two years.
Action Plan (2018-2020)
The core of the Institute’s HRS4R strategy is the Action Plan 2018-2020 and the Open, Transparent and Merit-Based Recruitment (“OTM-R”) policy. The Action Plan is a set of actions and indicators to address the gaps identified in the Gap Analysis and to implement the principles of the Charter & Code. The OTM-R Policy is a set of guidelines and procedures that aligns the Institute’s recruitment and selection process of the Institute with the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. The OTM-R Policy was developed based on the based on the OTM-R Checklist.
Gap Analysis (2018)
The aim of the Gap Analysis was to identify where and how the Institute’s current practice deviates from the principles of the Charter & Code. The GAP Analysis process involved researchers at all levels (R1-R4), through one-on-one meetings/discussions and an online survey. The process of gap analysis is described in the document Gap process description.

In 2018, the HRS4R Working Group was established and tasked with developing the Institute’s Human Resource Strategy for Researchers. The team’s mission was to continuously identify gaps against the principles of the Charter & Code and update the Institute’s action plan and HRS4R strategy. In 2024, the new Working Group was established and represents all stakeholders involved in the HRS4R process – the researchers at different levels, the management and the administrative and support staff:
Steering Committee: The development and implementation of the HRS4R strategy is overseen by the Steering Committee: MUDr. Jan Kopecký, DrSc., MUDr. Jiří Paleček, CSc., Ing. Petra Janečková
