HR in research
The University of Bergen works to provide the best support we can to our employees. This is why we have worked for and received the HR Excellence in Research (HREiR) award.
Main content
HREiR is a recognition that UiB works in a targeted manner to further improve the working conditions of academic staff and provide good support to individuals in their career. The work is based on EU's Charter for Researchers.
What will this mean for employees at UiB?
The HREiR status means that employees at UiB should notice that the university works in a targeted manner to offer better HR in research. HR is about ensuring that the research groups have sound frameworks for their work and that employees are well looked after. UiB is working to make improvements based on feedback and wishes from our own employees in different groups and stages of their careers.
Why is this important for UiB?
The "HR Excellence in Research" status will demonstrate internationally that UiB is committed to developing the quality of HR in research. This will help to recruit the best researchers by showing that we offer good terms and conditions. The status will also have significance for the university in the creation of future international research projects such as Horizon Europe. At the same time, HREiR provides a good framework for the involvement of the entire organisation in the efforts to improve HR in research.
