The European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for their recruitment(abbr. CC) How can we push its implementation forward ? Eurodoc, London 2007 Workshop
Current developments • Brief historical overview • Parents of the document: EC + Eurodoc + Euroscience • 2004 – Eurodoc charter of S&T • 2005 – CC (official announcement at our annual conference of Strasbourg 2005) • Current status • Awareness has grown up • List of signatories still reduced: let’s look at the EC’s website now: http://ec.europa.eu/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=42&CFID=7121833&CFTOKEN=c943e575dd544e09-9817B7A1-BECF-3921-260565B9D7749E80 • Common Misconceptions about CC • It gives you a full research contract • It is a legally binding document (law, decree) • It is not legally binding, so it is useless • Only governments or big entities can/need to sign up
Current developments • Link CC with funding • only EU funding? • towards more shared funding? • what about the ERC and EIT? • Develop a CC label • tie it with a gap analysis between actual practices and CC principles • increase transparency • promote self assessment
What could be done for the Charter to be better implemented? • National and local organisations • to promote/raise awareness on CC: how? How much? • media • academia • government/public • to conduct review of national texts with CC as mask: how? • to help in external review of signatories: how? • to help signatories conduct their own assessment: how? • Eurodoc • to help national/local organisations do the assessment: how? • to review compliance of European bodies (ERC) and texts • to create its own advertisement for good practices? How? • European Commission • to help national organisations and/or Eurodoc: how?
