A quality approach at the heart of our academic human resources strategy

As part of its accreditation process, ������̳ has adopted a collaborative approach, drawing on the experience of component institutions and research organizations already accredited. This collaborative approach has resulted in a plan of 35 actions aimed at improving the working conditions of teaching and research staff.

The HRS4R label

The HR Excellence in Research Award is a certification given by the European Commission in accordance with the released in 2005.
The certification is based on 40 principles grouped into four main categories:

• Ethical principles and professional responsibility

Its goal is to improve the quality of HR practices and the working conditions for researchers and research professors while enhancing the appeal of those professions.

Measures implemented effectively

Creation of a shared recruitment website, “PSL Recruitment”, and harmonization of academic job descriptions

Thanks to the shared website, , the Human Resources Department is able to centralize all job postings, in particular those related to academic job openings, and ensure that they are widely distributed. 

Supporting innovative teaching

A training program titled “Support program for teaching practices and digital applications” has been set up, as part of the PSL Internal School, supported by Dauphine - PSL.
An Educational Project Leave Scheme has also been set up, which is open to research professors within the University.

In addition, PSL’s Educational Innovation Center (CIP), which is also supported by Dauphine - PSL , was established in 2021 to develop innovative teaching practices and mentoring for individuals or teams. The scheme aimed at teaching assistants has also been implemented.

A support service for international research professors has been put in place, through PSL’s Welcome Desk

This new service was launched at the start of 2022 and has helped us to support more than forty research professors during the first half of 2022 alone.

Developing training programs aimed at research professors

Through the Internal School in particular, as well as the Doctoral School, the program offering for research professors has been enhanced with the introduction of specific and general training programs in the fields of management, teaching and risk management (discrimination, equality, PSR, etc.), for example.
