HR Logo in Practice

European standards, transparent rules, and a responsible approach to the development of science – we invite you to watch a video in which Prof. Agnieszka Hałoń, Vice-Rector for Academic Staff Development, explains the importance of the HR Excellence in Research award for Wroclaw Medical University (UMW).

In the recording, Prof. Agnieszka Hałoń, Chair of the Steering Committee for HR Excellence in Research, explains what the HR Logo means in practice and why obtaining it is so important for the entire academic community of UMW. This distinction is awarded to institutions that consistently build a modern, fair, and development-oriented working environment for researchers.

HR Excellence in Research is not merely a prestigious label present across the university space, but a confirmation of real actions taken to ensure high standards of academic work. Prof. Agnieszka Hałoń discusses ethics and professionalism, transparent recruitment principles, good working conditions and development opportunities, support for academic careers, and the creation of an open and welcoming environment for researchers at every stage of their professional journey.

Implementing the principles of HR Excellence in Research strengthens the position of Wroclaw Medical University within the European Research Area. It sends a clear signal to current and future staff, doctoral candidates, students, and external partners that the University is developing in line with standards valued by leading academic and research institutions across Europe. It also aligns with UMW’s broader efforts to enhance research quality and academic staff development, including activities carried out under the IDUB programme.

This distinction highlights our core values, reflected in the everyday functioning of the University: quality, responsibility, transparency, and development.
