This distinction is a #recognition of organizations dedicated to research and innovation that are committed to improving working conditions for technical and research staff at the European level. The process for obtaining this recognition involves complying with 40 principles established by the European Commission in its European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct. These principles include the implementation of open and transparent hiring policies based on academic merit. At INIBICA, we conducted a situation analysis to identify strengths and weaknesses and designed a participatory action plan with 13 strategic actions to be implemented over the next five years. These actions are aimed at improving working conditions, promoting gender equality, and fostering researchers’ mobility and professional development. With this distinction, INIBICA joins 163 other institutions in Spain that have received the same recognition, making it the second such institution in the province of Cádiz. 🔗 More information: La Gaceta de Cádiz || Instagram
