Qualification Audit Committee

Based on the Career Development Rules for university-educated employees of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the work performance of researchers is regularly evaluated (certified) at least once every five years. 

• The subject of evaluation during the Qualification Audit is exclusively the scientific, professional, and pedagogical activities of the employee.
• Evaluation must not discriminate based on gender, age, origin, religion, political opinions, etc.
• Based on the results of the Qualification Audit, the scientific employees are assessed into qualification grades (Research Assistant, Graduate Student, Postdoctoral Fellow, Associated Scientist, Scientist, Senior Scientist).
• The results of this evaluation are decisive for further career advancement and salary assessment.
• Employees are also evaluated at the suggestion of their supervisor or at their own request.

The general purpose of these assessments of achievements includes the following:

• to contribute to the improvement of the level of scientific activities at the institute;
• to create a basis for sound human resources policy at the institute;
• to compare the results of scientific employees under the relevant qualification grades;
• to stimulate employees to strive for continuous professional growth;
• to provide them with regular opportunities for self-reflection.

The evaluation during the qualification audit is carried out by a qualification committee appointed by the director of FZU. It has at least five members, and at least one third of them must not be employed by FZU.
