Sano awarded the HR Excellence in Research distinction! 

 At Sano – Centre for Computational Personalised Medicine, we are driven by the ambition to translate cutting-edge research into real-world impact in healthcare. Equally important to us is growing as an organisation — one that offers a truly supportive, inspiring, and inclusive environment for researchers to thrive.

Growing science — and ourselves 

We are proud to announce that Sano has officially been awarded the HR Excellence in Research distinction by the European Commission. 

This recognition is granted to research-performing institutions that align their policies and practices with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers — a common European framework designed to foster transparent, fair, and sustainable research careers. 

HR Excellence – what it means for Sano? 

By achieving this distinction, Sano joins a growing European community of universities, research organisations, and funding bodies dedicated to continuously improving human resources standards in science. 

It enhances our international visibility, strengthens our position within collaborative research networks, and helps us attract and retain top research talent from across Europe and beyond. 

What it means for our people 

The award reflects our ongoing efforts to build a workplace culture rooted in transparency, respect, and opportunity. It sends a strong message that we value the people behind our science — and are committed to supporting their careers, wellbeing, and growth. 

This shared commitment not only strengthens individual institutions like ours, but also contributes to Europe’s leadership in research and innovation, while fostering mobility and collaboration across borders.
