The University of Crete is pleased to announce the successful completion of its evaluation for the HRS4R (Human Resources Strategy for Researchers) logo, according to the official notification from the European Commission and the Euraxess network. The process was concluded following the evaluation team’s visit to the university’s facilities on May 16, 2024, with exceptionally positive outcomes.

The HR Excellence in Research award will remain with the University of Crete for the next three years, until 2027, when a new remote evaluation will be conducted. It is noteworthy that the University of Crete is the only university in Greece to have received this prestigious certification, granted by the European Commission, which it has held uninterruptedly since 2012.

The benefits of this distinction include the international recognition of the University of Crete as an institution that supports high-level research and the excellent research environment it offers its researchers. In the coming period, the University of Crete is committed to implementing the action plan it revised and submitted to Euraxess and looks forward to the continued support of its community to further enhance its research efforts.

It is worth mentioning that the HR Excellence in Research logo can be used in research proposals, further boosting the visibility and competitiveness of the institution’s projects.

On the occasion of this distinction, the Rectorate of the University of Crete extends warm thanks to the HSR4R Committee, coordinated by Professor Dimitrios Anglos, as well as to all members of the institution who worked with dedication and consistency for the successful completion of the evaluation.
