Working conditions

Working conditions 

"Employers and/or funders must ensure that working conditions for researchers, including disabled researchers, provide, where appropriate, the flexibility deemed essential for the successful completion of research work in accordance with existing national legislation and national or sectoral collective agreements.

They should aim at providing working conditions which allow both female and male researchers to combine family and work, children and career.

Particular attention should be paid, inter alia, to variable working hours, part-time work, teleworking and sabbaticals, as well as to the necessary financial and administrative provisions governing such arrangements" (extract from the Charter for European researchers).
