In October 2022, Côte d'Azur Observatory obtained the European label « Human Resources Strategy for Researchers », better known by the acronym HRS4R. Our institution joins the Université Côte d'Azur, which has also committed to respecting the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct, as have nearly 600 other European organisations.
Our action plan includes 39 actions (19 of which are shared with Université Côte d'Azur) aimed at improving recruitment practices (we apply the OTMR - Open Transparent Merit-based Recruitment - policy) and working conditions for researchers.
It also covers doctoral supervision and training, welcoming researchers, gender equality and scientific integrity issues.
