ARHIV DRUŽBOSLOVNIH PODATKOV

On 11 March 2008, as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, the UK Data Archive is holding a workshop at the University of Essex on managing and sharing research data. Guidance is based on advice and support provided to ESRC award holders as part of their contractual obligations to share data, and to the cross Research Council Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) Programme which requires formalised data management plans.
This hands-on workshop will cover key issues on data management and sharing as applied to socio-economic research involving people as participants (interviews, questionnaires, focus groups, observation and so on).


The workshop focuses on:

dealing with confidential research information and personal data
developing consent agreements for obtaining informed consent from participants
appropriate anonymisation techniques to enable use and sharing of research data
The workshop will provide theoretical information and practical exercises.

There is no cost for this workshop but places are limited so booking is essential. Priority will be given to researchers actively collecting data or to ethics committee members. A parallel event is being held at the University of Leeds. Both workshops will take place between 13.15 and 16.30.
