About the HR Excellence in Research Award
The HR Excellence in Research Award reflects Bath’s commitment to:
The HR Excellence in Research Award is a UK-wide process, incorporating the QAA Code of Practice for Research Degree Programmes and the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers (published in 2008). It enables institutions to gain the European Commission’s ‘HR excellence in Research’ badge, acknowledging alignment with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for their Recruitment.
The responsibility for implementation of the strategy lies with the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research) and is managed by the Research Staff Working Group.
