This hands-on workshop will cover key issues on data management and sharing applied to research involving people as participants (interviews, questionnaires, focus groups, observation and so on).
The workshop focuses on:

* anonymisation techniques and access regulations to enable use and sharing of research data
* data documentation and metadata

The workshop will provide theoretical information, practical exercises, examples and discussion. There is no cost for this workshop but places are limited so booking is essential. Priority will be given to RELU researchers, researchers actively collecting data and to ethics committee members. The workshop will take place between 10.00 and 16.00.
