CIMNE holds the HRS4R (Human Resources Strategy for Researchers) seal —awarded by an external board of advisors— certifying our institution’s commitment to implementing the highest standards for research recruitment and development at all career stages.

This recognition follows the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, which describe the rights and responsibilities of both the researchers and their hosting institutions.

We support our research community through a comprehensive approach that extends beyond research practice itself. Our framework encompasses active mentoring programmes, structured career planning, meaningful participation in institutional decisions, robust diversity and inclusion initiatives, work-life balance measures, transparency in all processes, and effective research dissemination strategies.

The HRS4R certification is deployed through CIMNE’s Strategic Plan, which pays special attention to attracting and developing talent, as we remain committed to establishing CIMNE as a leading destination of choice for researchers worldwide.

By joining CIMNE, researchers can be confident that their career development is prioritized through our merit-based recruitment processes, international excellence criteria, and supportive working environment, all certified by an independent, external board.

From doctoral students to distinguished research professors, our HRS4R compliance ensures that we maintain the highest European standards in research and development. This creates an environment where talent flourishes and innovation thrives.
