abstract in English:	Contemporary universities functioning in the conditions of intensifying globalization and competition are looking for effective methods of increasing their competitive advantages. A clearly defined and consistently implemented SHRM strategy plays an important role in this process. Research aims: the objective of this paper is to identify good practices of European universities in the area of strategic human resources management. The author has tried to acquire answers to the two basic questions: On the basis of published documents, is it possible to identify examples of the execution of specific HRM strategies at European universities? What elements should such strategies comprise so that universities could combine the fulfilment of their fundamental functions with modern management techniques? Methodology: the analysis is based on the results of the author’s study of literature on the subject as well as qualitative research based on a particular case. The research presented in this paper constitutes a part of a wider research programme. Findings: the conducted research has allowed the identification of a specific HRM strategy in the area of organizational development at Utrecht University. The paper discusses the elements and stages of this strategy. In conclusions, the author emphasizes that, in the Polish conditions, such a strategy would require considerable modifications.
