HR Excellence in Research
In 2008, NTNU was among the first universities in Europe to sign the "European Charter for Researchers" (Charter) and the "European Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers" (Code). In recognition of this, the EU Commission gave NTNU the right to use the "HR Excellence in Research" logo (above) because of the university's commitment to the aims and working methods promoted in the Charter and Code.
