for Researchers
Response to challenges:
• A partnership between Member States, Associated States and the
Commission to accelerate progress, building on reforms and actions
underway
• A common framework to help focus the efforts on shared objectives
and key areas of common interest
• A balanced approach: better careers and more mobility
• New voluntary measures to promote the Charter & Code principles
(The European Charter for Researchers, the Code of Conduct for the
recruitment of Researchers) at institutional level (“HR Strategy for
Researchers”)
• The Gago/Biltgen report of December 2008 with further ideas for
implementing the Partnership pointing out the importance of
