Ê Part of institution’s research strategy Ê Desire to increase national and international visibility Ê Means to acknowledge UM’s prominent position as research intensive university Ê Process initiated in 2007 but not completed

Ê Curious to measure the gap yet to fill…. Ê Volunteer-based, risk-free, no-added cost process Ê No university and only 1 institution with award in France

Ê Very critical and busy time Ê Hesitant to add more work or change

Ê Build a common identity Ê Set improved standardized practices in the newly created institution Ê Stand out as innovative and attractive employer for research in France and internationally Ê Extend HRS4R to all UM employees from the beginning (not just researchers)

Start the process Ê Send an endorsement and a commitment letter addressed to European Commissioner (Carlos Moedas) at RTD- CHARTER@ec.europa.eu

Ê 1 year timeframe to submit

your proposal under the strengthened HRS4R!

Gap analysis Ê Use template 1 (and OTM-R annex)

Ê Items order in Gap Analysis template is different than in C&C!

Ê Map national laws/regulations and your institution’s internal pratices Ê Check with your Ministry of Education for existing national rules

Ê Report strengths/weaknesses under the 4 thematic areas:

Ê Identify areas of improvement Ê Other templates on Euraxess are great source of input

Action plan Ê Use template 2 for the list of actions Ê Prepare an annex with narrative and more details Ê Present your plan under the 4 thematic areas Ê Link actions to observed gaps Ê Identify stakeholders in charge

Ê Provide a delivery date per action (at least per Quarter or Semester/year) Ê Embed OTM-R toolkit in your institution’s procedures Ê Include indicators and monitoring plan to facilitate follow-up Ê Summarize your action plan with a table or GANTT chart

Publish your HRS4R documents Ê On your institutional website

Ê Send to RTD-CHARTER@ec.europa.eu

Ê Put all data from templates 1 & 2 into one document Ê Convert your working document to an Excel file for future monitoring

Give sub-numbers (I.2.1.; I.2.2) to actions pertaining to same item Filter function to sort actions per type, date, department, indicator

Ê Increased national and international visibility and attractiveness (First French university with award) Ê UM overall QS rankings went up 50 spots in 2016 Ê Wider recruitment base:

Euraxess Jobs portal

Research’ logo

websites

Ê Alignment with EC funding requirements: Article 32 of Annotated Model Grant Agreement on mandatory implementation of the Charter & Code principles in H2020 Ê Priority for EC grant attribution in case of ex- aequo ranking for calls-for- tender

From a global point of view

v Implementing HRS4R contributes to promoting internationalization at your institution
