"The European Charta for Researchers is a recommendation of good practice for researchers and employers and/or funders of researchers issued by the European Commission (DG Research). It sketches rights and duties of researchers and their funding institutions. It was published together with the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers which outlines principles for hiring and appointing researchers."

The document was compiled relying on extensive advise of reseachers and research policy stakeholders. The commission considers the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers as "key elements in the European Union’s policy to make research an attractive career, which is a vital feature of its strategy to stimulate economic and employment growth"
