European guidance for research at the University of Freiburg

In 2005, the European Commission published the „European Charter for Researchers“ and the „Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers“. The goal of these recommendations is to provide an improved general framework for the work of researchers in Europe, particularly for that of young researchers. The publications contain guidelines concerning the employment status of researchers in order to ensure that they receive adequate social security coverage.

The University of Freiburg agreed to these guidelines of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct in a resolution of the Executive Board on March 14th, 2007, and is thus voluntarily bound to adhere to them within its area of authority.
