In April 2015, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education decided that the widespread introduction of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers is important for Polish science, as it supports the process of European integration, and also allows for the creation of the European Research Area in terms of creating an attractive working environment for scientists, as well as compliance with ethical standards both in professional relations, and in conducting scientific research.
After analyzing the content of the above-mentioned documents, the Ludwik Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IIET PAS), represented by the Director of the Institute, Prof. Andrzej Gamian, on 29 September 2021 expressed his support for the recommendations of the European Commission No. 2005/251/EC, indicating the convergence of the principles of the European Charter for Researchers (Charter) and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (Code), with the Institute’s development strategy.
On May 12, 2023, the European Commission awarded the Ludwik Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy of the Polish Academy of Sciences with the “HR Excellence in Research” LOGO.
