Current Projects

A needs-oriented, dynamic and action-oriented researcher development program requires strategies and concepts. In the researcher development concept (PEK) the university defines standards, measurements and responsibilities which are evaluated internally and externally. In addition, the university implements recommendations of the European Commission through its participation in the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) audit.

Researcher Development Concept PEK

The University of Tübingen understands academic human resources development as a process that also considers changing conditions for the implementation and further development of the university's strategic goals. The personnel development concept (PEK) defines fields of action, standards and measures for this purpose, which are to be continuously evaluated and developed in the coming years.

Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R)

The University of Tübingen has been participating in the EU Commission's Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) initiative since 2017 and was one of the first German univeristies to do so. The audit's aim is the full implementation of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers recommendations. The university's action plan was successfully adopted in 2019.
