Today the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR) has launched the campaign 'Research and enjoy, join!', within the framework of the Human Resources strategy of the Institution, with the aim of making visible the attractiveness of VHIR as a place to work highlighting its value proposition with the unique opportunities it offers for biomedical research professionals at national and international level. Its privileged location, research excellence and commitment to lifelong learning position VHIR as a top destination for scientific talent.

The campaign is launched on social networks with the hashtags #ResearchAndEnjoyVHIR and #JoinVHIR and over the next few weeks videos of seven profiles of VHIR professionals will be shared as well as the main benefits that VHIR offers to its staff.

The videos have different formats. Some of them allow us to show in an informal and fresh way how a day in the life of a VHIR researcher is, combining daily activities in the laboratory and interdisciplinary work with colleagues at Vall d'Hebron Campus with moments of leisure and entertainment outside the work environment. And, on the other hand, they also reinforce the image of Barcelona as a city of undeniable attractiveness, but which also welcomes scientific talent.

Other videos are short fragments of less than 1 minute, in which the protagonists explain from their point of view what is most important or valuable about working at VHIR. And finally, we also have a video that offers a very complete vision of the research support profiles from the experience of a person who has been part of different teams in his professional career at VHIR.

The talent attraction campaign includes a “talent landing page” on the VHIR website. There, visitors will be able to find all the videos of the campaign, the job offers and benefits that VHIR offers to its employees, ranging from the possibility of developing professionally in a Campus of excellence where research is done 50 metres away from the beds of the patients who will benefit from it in a hospital that belongs to the EUHA (European University Hospital Alliance) to the multiple possibilities of continuous training or the assistance and advice on issues of international mobility. We cannot forget that the VHIR has been awarded the 'HR Excellence Award' by the European Commission, which recognises excellence in human resources and its commitment to best practices and policies in line with European standards.

Finally, there is a space for resources, practical advice and international mobility support for newcomers to VHIR and Barcelona, the capital of research.
