Until 2022, the HR strategy of the Faculty of Science at Masaryk University was supported by a national project entitled “Strategic Management Development of a Research Organisation in Line with the Requirements for the HR Award”. This initiative was part of the five-year OP VVV project “Human Resources Development and Internationalization of Research at MU” (HR4MU), co-funded by the European Union.
At Masaryk University, based on an exemption granted by the European Commission, the HR Excellence in Research Award is held by all faculties, as well as CEITEC and the Institute of Computer Science. These units are defined in the Statutes of Masaryk University as constituent parts that form the university (Statutes of MU, Part Four, Organisational Structure of MU, Article 14 Constituent Parts Statutes MU | Masaryk University). More information is available on the website: HR Award | Masaryk University.
