Further to CERN's first application for the 'HR Excellence in Reserach Award', which was accepted pending minor alterations, CERN hereby confirms its intention to follow up on the recommendations received with a view to completing the process. 

A survey was sent on 18 September 2017 to reserachers at all levels within the Organization for their input regarding the 40 principles of the EU Charter and Code and to what extend CERN implements them. This serves as basis for a subsequent gap analysis with a view to producing an action plan to address relevant points for approval by a focus group, and subsequent endorsement by the EUSC and finally the DG.
