HR Excellence in Research award review
In December 2010, the University was awarded the 'HR excellence in research' award from the European Commission in recognition of its commitment to supporting its researchers’ career, personal and professional development and management. In 2012, we carried out a '2-years on' internal review of progress:
- HR Excellence in Research 2 year report (Dec 2012)
- Dec 2012 update on Concordat action plan (Dec 2012)
Section A - Strategy and Policy
The University of Glasgow is committed to creating a supportive environment for its Research Staff. Issues relating to employment, support and career development of Research Staff are overseen by the Researcher Development Committee.
Recent developments at local, national and International level mean this is an exciting time to be a researcher at Glasgow. Find out about some of these developments at the Research Staff Conference.
