Human Resources
The ICN2 Human Resources Department focuses on the people of the ICN2, providing effective talent attraction, selection, development, and assessment processes, as well as a set of user-friendly guidelines and tools. Its mission is to support growth and career development through the nurturing of an appealing institutional environment.
The department’s policies contribute to making the ICN2 a workplace where people can thrive, share their experiences, and exchange new ideas. In 2021, the institute renewed the European Commission’s HR Excellence in Research logo (HRS4R) in recognition of its commitment to career development, equal opportunities, transparency, and favourable working conditions.
Under the Severo Ochoa and HRS4R umbrellas, the first year of the BIST Mentoring Programme concluded with excellent feedback from the involved mentors and mentees, allowing the second edition to proceed. Furthermore, the initial training of the Postdoc Programme path was scheduled, and we continued with the established activities within the ICN2 PhD Programme.
During 2023, the ten SO predoctoral students assigned to the project were selected and incorporated into ICN2. So was the SO project manager. The selection processes for other profiles were launched, though incorporations happened in 2024.
