The ‘Human Resources Excellence in Research’ badge is awarded to institutions that have made significant progress in implementing the Charter & Code (so far 128 institutions from 21 countries have been awarded, and more are in the pipeline).

Pensions of researchersWhat happens when researchers move? What can and cannot be transferred? What is regulated at EU level and what is regulated at national level? This can be found on EURAXESS Rights.
Entry conditions Non-EU national (or "third country national”) researchers have several possibilities to enter the European Union for work. The Scientific Visa Package aims to facilitate third country researchers' entry conditions. The Blue Card Directive is more recent, and deals with the entry into the EU for the purposes of highly qualified employment.
This information is complemented and actively dealt with by the EURAXESS Service Centres!
