European Commission recognises University’s investment in researchers’ careers
The University of Aberdeen has been awarded the 'HR Excellence in Research' badge by the European Commission for its work to implement the UK Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers. This makes the University one of only 23 institutions in the UK - and of only 15 in the rest of Europe - to have gained this recognition for commitment to ensuring good working conditions and career development for research staff.
Examples of this commitment include the Institute of Biological & Environmental Sciences own RCUK fellows Dr. Steve Bird and Dr. Mirela Delibegovic, NERC Advanced Fellows Dr. Liz Baggs, Dr. Dave Johnson and Dr. Graeme Nicol, Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellow Dr. Sandra Telfer, Royal Society University Research Fellow Dr. Jane Reid and British Heart Foundation Intermediate Basic Research Fellow Dr. Nimesh Mody. Drs. Bird, Baggs and Johnson have completed their respective fellowships and are now lecturers within the School of Biological Sciences.

The Concordat (to support the career development of researchers) is an agreement between the funders and employers of researchers in the UK. Funders includes UK research councils and the University of Aberdeen. Please find time to read up on the principles to be followed by funders, employers and researchers to successfully implement the agreement.
