In October 2022, we were given the opportunity to visit the University College Cork in Ireland, which has successfully renewed its HR Excellence in Research Award for the second time in April 2021. We travelled together with colleagues from the MU Faculty of Economics and Administration and the Brno University of Technology.
Our very kind host was Mary Kate O'Regan, who represents UCC as an HR Business Manager, represents European Commission as an ambassador and Lead Assessor of the HR Excellence in Research Award, HRS4R, and is our great role model.
Our hosts prepared for us a varied and inspiring program: research funding at UCC, employment in the Irish public sector, recruitment and attraction of researchers, training and development of PhD students and staff, and the innovative CARDEA project focusing on the role of Research Managers. We refreshed motivation for preparatory works on our faculty HR Excellence in Research Award renewal; and got useful tips from the training sessions led by Mary Kate O’Regan. We also got a great space to present the implementation of the HRS4R at our faculty.
We thank our hosts for welcoming us, stimulating and beneficial discussions and the great sharing.
A workshop with useful tips and recommendations to prepare for the Renewal of the HR Excellence in Research Award was organized at the Faculty of Science MU by the HR Award Office. The main speaker and honorable guest was Mary Kate O'Regan from University College Cork, Ireland.
In March 2023 Department of Information and Communication Technologies prepared two hybrid training sessions for employees on "Training for Web Developers at Umbraco". Practically oriented workshops were designed for beginners who have not yet encountered the editorial system, but also for more advanced individuals.
