An HRS4R institute
El Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (▶️HRS4R) is a tool created by the European Commission (EC) to deploy one human resources strategy to support research staff and provide funding to research institutions.
The institutions recognized with the seal have demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement in the adoption of the principles of "European Charter of Researchers" and the "Code of conduct for the recruitment of researchers".
The HRS4R certifies that these organizations are committed to creating a framework to achieve thescientific excellence, improve the performance and the well-being of the research staff, and one stimulating and attractive work environment, while progressing towards the principles of open, transparent and merit-based recruitment (Open Transparent Based Recruitment).
The I3PT initiates a self-assessment to adopt the principles of the Charter and the Code, and a working group is formed to reflect on the benefits of applying the HRS4R strategy.

Communication strategy
As part of thecommunication strategy so that all the institute's staff is informed and aligned with its implementation, the working group carries out different communicative actions:
We have created a specific Communication Plan for the HRS4R label with the aim of ensuring clear, coherent and continuous communication with the research community and institutional stakeholders. This plan supports the deployment of the HRS4R strategy at I3PT, fostering knowledge, understanding and active involvement of its principles and actions.
“Road to HRS4R” is the internal newsletter that has been created to inform the institute's staff of the news and advances related to the renewal of the seal.
The director of the I3PT, Salvador Ventura, detailed in an event open to all Parc Taulí staff the benefits of renewing the HRS4R label, underlining the opportunities it represents for the Institute and for the entire scientific community, and the need to work together to achieve this goal.
The members of the working group participated together with researchers and management staff of the I3PT in three focus groups with the aim of presenting the actions worked on, learning about the needs of research staff and discussing different improvement proposals.
