We have completed the preparations for the HR Excellence in Research Award. The Gap Analysis and the Action Plan has been sent to the European Commission for assessment on 9th December 2020, and on 5th January 2021 we successfully passed the administrative check. We are now waiting for the result of the expert team evaluation. The Gap Analysis was prepared on the basis of the online questionnaire survey, working group meetings and consultations with employees. The final form of the Action Plan of our faculty was discussed with the Academic Senate of FoL MU and approved by the HR Award Steering Committee. We would like to thank all employees for their involvement, suggestions, sharing experiences, comments and we look forward to further cooperation during the implementation of the Action Plan of our faculty.
