The 20th Anniversary of the European Charter for Researchers
16.06.2025
On June 27, at 10 a.m., the “Galileo Galilei” Aula Magna at Palazzo del Bo in Padua will host the national event “The 20th Anniversary of the European Charter for Researchers. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow: a journey toward improvement.”
The event aims to celebrate 20 years since the publication of the first European Charter for Researchers and to review the developments that led to the adoption, in December 2023, of the Council of Europe’s recommendation known as the “New European Charter for Researchers.”
The morning sessions will describe the evolution of the Charter’s implementation in Italy up to the present day, with particular focus on the key role played by the recognition of an institution’s commitment and progress through the HRS4R Award (HR Strategy for Researchers). These topics will be discussed with contributions from Michele Rosa-Clot, HR Excellence in Research Portfolio Manager (European Commission - RTD), Anna Maria Eleuteri (University of Camerino), Fulvio Esposito, Francesca Spigarelli (University of Macerata), Chiara Biglia (Polytechnic University of Turin), and Nicola Dengo, Vice President of EuroDoc.
A round table discussion in the afternoon will focus on the topic of research evaluation—an especially relevant issue in this context.
In-person attendance is free upon reservation.
