European Charter for Researchers
The European Charter for Researchers establishes general principles and requirements defining the roles, responsibilities and qualifications of researchers as well as their employers and / or funders. The purpose of the charter is to ensure that the nature of relations between scientists and their employers or funders favors achieving positive results in the creation, transfer, exchange and dissemination of knowledge and technological development as well as career development of researchers.
The Charter also recognizes the value of all forms of mobility as a means to further professional development of scientists. In this sense, the Charter is a framework for researchers, employers and funders, an incentive for them to conduct responsible and professional conduct in the work environment, as well as to warn each other as professionals.
The Charter is addressed to all researchers in the European Union at all stages of a scientific career and covers all fields of research in the public and private sectors, regardless of the position and employment, legal status of the employer or the type of organization or institution where the research is conducted. The charter takes into account various functions performed by scientists, who are not only assigned to conduct scientific research and / or development activities, but also perform tasks related to scientific aid, consulting, management or administration.
The Charter is based on the assumption that the primary obligation of both researchers and their employers and / or funders is to comply with relevant national or regional regulations.
