The University of Navarra is an institution which, since its inception more than 50 years ago, has been committed to research in both scientific and humanistic areas. Its continued commitment to research and its philosophy of constant improvement at all levels have recently led this university to adhere to the European initiatives "European Charter for Researchers” and “Code of Conduct for Recruiting researchers".

Following the European Commission´s recommendations, in 2016 the University created a working group of professionals from different research areas whose initial task was to carry out an internal analysis on the basis of the principles laid down by the European Charter and the Code of Conduct. This analysis has concluded in a solid diagnosis of the current situation at the University of Navarra and a definition of an Action Plan which will be published soon.

Convinced that its human capital is its most important value, the University of Navarra has proceeded to signing the following endorsement letter, ascertaining its commitment to obtaining the Human Resource Strategy for Researchers (HSR4R) seal of Excellence in the subsequent months.
