Human Resources Strategy for Researchers
In 2011, VUB became the first Flemish university to obtain the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRs4R) label. The quality label is an initiative through which the European Commission gives public recognition to research institutions that align their human resources policies with the principles in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct.
In 2024, a new action plan was approved detailing the ways in which VUB shapes its HR framework for researchers.”
