HR excellence in research

Since 2013, the IIMCB has been a holder of the HR Excellence in Research Award. It is a prestigious recognition that acknowledges that the Institute is an attractive place for researchers to work and develop their careers. It confirms IIMCB’s commitment to implementing fair and transparent recruitment and appraisal procedures for researchers.

Gender equality


The IIMCB fosters a working environment in which all individuals are treated equally, with respect and fairness. In 2021, the Institute implemented the Gender Equality Plan. The Working Group on Gender Equality Opportunities implements its activities and addresses all gender equality issues.

The Gender Equality Plan 2022-2025 for the IIMCB takes into account the assumptions and principles contained in the “European Charter of the Code of Researchers and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers 2015-2019,” one of the most important documents of European policy for increasing the attractiveness of working conditions and career development of researchers in Europe.

Goals of the Gender Equality Plan 2022-2025

  • Raise awareness of the importance of gender equality issues and reinforce positive attitudes towards diversity within the workforce and in education.
  • Assist in the career development of women.
  • Achieve and maintain a balance of gender opportunities in recruitment.
  • Facilitate the balance of work and study with family life.
  • Achieve and maintain balanced gender representation on committees, boards, delegations, panels, and other advisory bodies.

“I am very proud that together with a group of researchers from the IIMCB and with the support of experts from the administration, we are working in the HR Excellence in Research Working Group. We meet regularly and develop solutions to improve the IIMCB’s attractiveness as an employer for researchers from every part of the world by offering them a favorable working environment, supporting them in their career development, enhancing the quality of research and innovation, and supporting international mobility in accordance with the European recommendations in HRS4R”
