OTM-R Recruitment Guide

In 2015, the European Research Area Human Resources and Mobility Steering Group developed an open, transparent and merit-based recruitment package (MTO-R) as one of the pillars of the human resources strategy for researchers (HRS4R). This toolkit was designed to help research organizations review their procurement processes in order to promote equality, mobility and cooperation across Europe. In an effort to align with European Commission guidelines, Blanquerna has updated its procurement policies with the criteria of the EC Code of Conduct (C&C).

Career options

In 2011, the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation defined a "European Framework for Research Careers" with the aim of making research career structures generally comparable across labor sectors and countries. One of the main objectives of this initiative was to achieve [...] a European research area where researchers, scientific knowledge and technology could circulate freely. Following this effort, the EC presented a paper describing "Research Career Profiles" at European level.

The European Framework for Research Careers (2011) distinguishes four broad profiles on the career development of researchers, who are independent of any particular sector (universities, research institutes, funding agencies, companies or NGOs). According to this framework, professional development in research involves moving towards a fully independent position as a researcher.

The classification is established according to the career stage of the researcher from R1 to R4.

R1: First Phase Researcher (Up to the point of doctorate)
R2: Recognized researcher (PhDs or equivalent who are not yet fully independent)
R3: Established researcher (Researchers who have developed a level of independence)
R4: Leading researcher (Researchers who lead their area or field of research).

In line with this framework, and to help young researchers at the beginning of their careers to obtain advice on career planning in order to achieve their professional goals, Blanquerna has prepared an informative document on "Career Options "professional career" that describes international or industry opportunities in professional development that can be addressed especially from the perspective of a researcher.

It includes all the information on the EC criteria for the different career profiles of researchers, as well as the European initiatives and tools that offer support to researchers who want to pursue their research career in Europe or who want to continue to be involved in research activities. research in Europe
