TBU CPS had one year to develop an internal gap analysis intended to match the current real-life practice at TBU CPS against the principles laid down in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. Interview surveys and focus groups have already been conducted as part of this process – one that results into an action plan as a basis for taking measures seeking to implement those principles.
