AGAUR’s Human Resources funding objectives are:
- To be efficient in the management of grants and scholarships with an open independent and rigorous evaluation process.
- To support career development of researchers with a focus on excellence and internationalisation.
- To attract worldwide leading researchers and PhD students, widening opportunities into the business sector.
- To improve the quality of postdoctoral research training, enabling researchers to develop their research careers in an advanced and more independent level.
AGAUR endorsed the European Charter for Researchers and The Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (C&C) in December 2011.
The Action plan and HR strategy was recognized by the CE in 2014 with the seal "HR Excellence in Research". It has been incoporated as a specific compliance objective within the internal policy, as an ISO requirement. Improvements within the grants management process and the professional development are already being implemented in the HR calls.
