Hasselt University has a long tradition of focusing on research careers. In 2007 it was one of the first Flemish universities to sign the European Commission’s Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.
The Board of Deans of Hasselt University decided on 1 April 2010 to apply for an HR Excellence in Research award from the European Commission. Hasselt became the first Flemish university to receive the award in 2011.
On 26 November 2018, an evaluation of this quality label was carried out by a European Commission panel. We are proud of the fact that the grant of the award was extended, showing that Hasselt University makes a point of investing in sustainable research careers for its researchers.
