Postdoc guidelines, English documents, bilingual Internet and Intranet sites, training programmes and much more are already available at HHU. These activities are part of a range of smaller and larger measures aimed at improving daily working life for researchers.
“We want to highlight what is already available at HHU and combine suitable measures. None of these steps will mean any additional work for researchers,” emphasises Dr Uta Brunner, who is coordinating the HRS4R processes under the project management of the Vice President for Research and Transfer. “We welcome all input that supports the plan of measures for HRS4R.”
A great deal can also be done at university level to improve working conditions further: Where HHU can exert its influence in this regard, it pursues this goal. That is why the University was granted the HR Excellence in Research award. To ensure the award is retained, preparations for the evaluation are currently underway. Transparency, communication and fairness are binding aspects here.
