The letter was accepted in January 2023 and application 2023RO46811 was opened.

The National Research and Development Institute for Industrial Ecology – ECOIND started the initial phase to get the Diploma of Excellence for Research Human Resources and submitted the documents for the initial phase in January 2024.

In March 2024, the Consensus Report of the European Commission evaluators was received, requesting minor changes. In accordance with the evaluators’ recommendations, the documents were updated by the end of April 2024 and uploaded to the EURAXESS portal in early May 2024.

The evaluators welcomed the care taken to align the human resources practices of the National Research and Development Institute for Industrial Ecology with the principles of the Charter and Code and granted permission to use the HR Excellence in Research logo on 30 August 2024 https://euraxess.ec. europa.eu/jobs/hrs4r/awarded.
