OGS has obtained from the European Commission the 'HR Excellence in Research' logo, becoming the first National Research Institution to get this recognition

OGS has recently promoted a concrete “Action Plan” in the frame of the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers ("HR Strategy for Researchers").  Such a strategy is specifically promoted by the Commission to support research institutions and funding organisations in the implementation of “The European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers”.

OGS submission has received a very good feedback as well as the award of the 'HR Excellence in Research' logo, becoming the first National Research Institution to obtain this recognition.

The effective implementation of the Charter & Code is strategic for OGS to  support researchers careers, to promote a stimulating and favourable working environment  and to render the institution more attractive to researchers looking for a new employer or for a host for their research project.

Nowadays, many European Research or funding Organisations are concretely implementing the Charter & Code principles and strategy in order to contribute to the attractiveness of their national research systems and to the attractiveness of the European Research Area more generally.
The main principles of the Charter & Code are  focussed on the following 4 areas: 'Ethical and Professional aspects', 'Recruitment', 'Working conditions & social security' and 'Training'.
