Inclusive recruitment training

In this workshop, you will learn how you —as a member of a recruitment committee— can contribute to conducting an open, transparent, merit-based recruitment process. You will also learn how to deal with complex decision-making processes that involve members of different hierarchical levels and with different interests.

We will work with UG practice-based case studies. As an equal opportunity employer, the UG values diversity and inclusion. Therefore, we have adopted a hiring policy aimed at increasing the diversity of staff across all disciplines of the University. Our selection procedures follow the guidelines of the Application code of the NVP and the European Commission's European Code of Conduct for recruitment of researchers (OTM-R).
