## HR Excellence in Research HRS4R. The European Charter for Researchers at the University of Padua

*[Versione italiana](https://www.unipd.it/hrs4r)*

For more than a decade, the **University of Padua** has been designing and implementing **three-year action plans** to concretely apply the principles established by the **European Charter for Researchers**. The University's commitment to policies supporting research staff has enabled it to be accredited as a European institution **awarded the "HR Excellence in Research" seal.**

On December 18, **2023**, the European Council formally adopted the Council Recommendation on a framework for research careers, including a **[new European Charter for Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/hrexcellenceaward/european-charter-researchers)**, which replaces the previous 2005 version.
