European Charter for Researchers
- European Charter for Researchers
The European Charter for Researchers is a recommendation of good practice for researchers and employers and/or funders of researchers issued by the European Commission (DG Research). It sketches rights and duties of researchers and their funding institutions. It was published together with the "Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers" which outlines principles for hiring and appointing researchers.
The document was compiled relying on extensive advise of researchers and research policy stakeholders. The commission considers the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers as "key elements in the European Union’s policy to make research an attractive career, which is a vital feature of its strategy to stimulate economic and employment growth"
Aim and Implementation
Given that legally the Charter and the Code are recommendations, the implementation of the documents shall be put forward by positive contention and peer pressure. The Charter and the Code should serve as a quality certificate for research institutions.
Consequent implementation of the Researchers Charter is urged not only by the European Commission, but also by other research and science policy organisations like Eurodoc or Marie Curie Fellows Association.
