Politischer Hintergrund

European Charter for Researchers

In March 2005, the European Commission published the European Charta for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers as a recommendation to improve employment and working conditions for researchers in Europe. This recommendation was particularly welcomed by the EU-Council of Ministers.

Charta and Code should contribute to establish "best practice" in the European Research Area. The European Commission’s efforts focus on the optimization of research and working conditions of researchers as well as the future development of a job market for researchers in the European Research Area.

For the research institutions it is optional to ratify Charta and Code. If a host institution decides to implement the principles of Charta and Code, the institutions's official decision, e.g. a rectorate's resolution, can be communicated to the European Commission (DG Research & Innovation) in English. By following this procedure, the institution will be added to the "Signatories List" of the Charta in the EURAXESS-portal.

German subscribers of Charta and Code are the German Rector's Conference (HRK), the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation (AvH), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) as well as the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg and the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
