HRS4R Action Plan

The new HRS4R Action Plan 2026–2028, approved by the Academic Senate in June 2025, was developed through SWOT analyses, focus groups, and internal surveys. It is already aligned with the principles expressed in the 2023 revised version of the European Charter for Researchers, which introduces four pillars: ethics, recruitment and evaluation, working conditions, and talent development.

To support process transparency and assign responsibility to the units in charge of individual actions, monitoring and evaluation tools based on key performance indicators (KPIs) and annual reports have been established.

The entire process is closely coordinated with the University Strategic Plan 2023–2025 and will be integrated into the new 2026–2028 Strategic Plan, in continuity with institutional objectives.

Through the new Action Plan, Politecnico di Milano confirms its commitment to maintaining and strengthening standards of excellence for the benefit of the entire research community.
