HR Excellence in Research
We were awarded the European Commission HR Excellence in Research Award in recognition of our continuing efforts to enhance the career development of researchers. We did this by demonstrating clear progress and commitment to working with Scottish universities to enhance how they attract, manage and develop research staff.
This is part of a concordat to increase the attractiveness and sustainability of research careers in the UK, and to improve the quantity, quality and impact of research for the benefit of UK society and the economy.
