The first step of the implementation was to analyze to what extent the existing practices at the IPG PAS are in line with the provisions of the Charter and the Code. Therefore, all the principles and requirements arising from the provisions of the Charter and Code have been analyzed for their implementation at the IPG PAS.

- June 2013: a questionnaire was elaborated and sent to all researchers and PhD students (June 2013). Next, results of previous steps have been summarized.

- December 2013: the HR Working Group prepared a report on the Internal Gap Analysis and

On January 20, 2014 the Institute of Plant Genetics of the Polish Academy of Sciences was awarded the prestigious "HR Excellence in Research" award for the implementation of the provisions of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. By implementing the Charter and Code, the IPG PAS fosters international collaboration and contributes to development of an open and attractive European labour market for researchers.
