EURAXESS HRS4R
In collaboration with its researchers, ULB has developed a human resources strategy for researchers (EURAXESS HRS4R), along with an action plan to improve recruitment, working conditions, career development, and services offered to researchers.
Our strategy for human resource management in research
The EURAXESS HRS4R strategy includes initiatives for recruitment and selection in research. These initiatives are in line with the University’s policy for open, transparent, and merit-based recruitment.

An award-winning strategy
The European Commission has recognised the quality of our work by granting ULB the ‘HR Excellence in Research’ logo in July 2013. This logo has been renewed in April 2019.
Regular audits
The European Commission requires that institutions that have been granted this logo have to be audited every three years, in order to assess the progress they have made on their action plan. Every two audit is followed by a visit of three international experts appointed by the European Commission.The last visit of international experts at ULB took place on 19 March 2019. The positive assessment of the experts led to the renewal of the "HR Excellence in research" logo in April 2019;
