PRINCIPLES |
Fairness, Equality, Respect, Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (FERDIE) are paramount values for BRFAA and its Faculty and thus central to implemented policies. The Faculty, with the support of its Board of Directors aims to provide a safe, fair, inclusive, and equitable environment for research, study, training, and work, as it believes that this is the mode to achieve inclusive excellence, where everyone thrives and reaches their full potential. |

Personnel Hiring and Pay |
Research positions are developed through the identification of strategic scholarly areas by the Scientific Board (SB), the members of which clearly define the necessary disciplinary background and the level of needed experience. Upon approval of the Board of Directors, positions are publicly announced at the DIAVGEIA portal, two national newspaper, the web site of BRFAA and at APELLA, as the law demands. APELLA organizes, inspects and publicizes all procedures of elections and promotions of institutional professors and investigators, and the submission of candidacies. In addition, APELLA compiles and maintains both Registries of Internal and External members BRFAA and all research centers and universities. Selection committees are drawn, by an electronic randomizer, from these registries exclusively by affinity of the scientific field, with no exception. The selection again follows the strict provisions of the law. |
Committee for Fairness, Equality, Respect, Diversity, and Equity, FERDIE |
Within these constraints, BRFAA remains committed to promoting equality in all its activities and aims to provide a work, learning, research, and teaching environment free from discrimination and unfair treatment. Thus, in recognizing the importance of constantly surveying for factors that may cause exclusion and implement meaningful changes when needed and with the intention to include all BRFAA administrators and trainees, the Scientific Board acted to reform the previously functioning Grievance and Mediation Committee for BRFAA investigators and research associates, as the Committee for Fairness, Equality, Respect, Diversity, and Equity, FERDIE (Greek: Επιτροπή Δικαιοσύνης, Ισότητας και Ένταξης). The recommendation was fully supported by the Board of Directors, who approved this Committee as a BRFAA official entity. The current members of the committee are:
