New service for employees, PhD students and candidates for researchers at IUNG-PIB
One of the key elements of the HR Strategy for researchers is access to information. These are both information about recruitment and regulations in force at the unit.
The purpose of the service for the IUNG employees is to collect and regularly update the content that may be useful to the scientists of our unit.
I am asking everyone who is interested in co-creating the IUNG HR platform:
- transferring information to the portal that could be interesting for you,
- posting new ideas and possible improvements regarding the website,
- sending interesting scientific information, legal changes and others that may be of interest to the scientific community of our Institute. I hope that the service will be helpful to you.
