The National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS) would like to announce
two FREE workshops to be held later this year.
Confidentiality and Ethical Issues in the Wider Usage of Clinical and
Administrative Data
25 May 2005, iLab, Constable Building, University of Essex.
Health service providers and researchers are increasingly interested in
acquiring and joining data sources in order to get a more complete picture
of service needs and social phenomena. This opens new challenges regarding
patient confidentiality, data security (e.g. when transferred on a
network) and secondary use of data.
The workshop will use Learning Disabilities as an exemplar and aims to
engage all parties that are interested in identifying and overcoming
obstacles to the service, policy and research usage of joined
administrative and clinical data while protecting confidentiality and
citizens’ rights.
The workshop is aimed at engaging service providers, policy makers and
researchers in order to discuss and better understand these issues. It
will start with some short presentations by experts and then use the
innovative iLab to develop common understandings of the key issues.
Collaboration, Co-Laboratories and e-Research
21 June 2005, MANDEC Centre, University of Manchester
(Followed by the First International Conference on e-Social Science)
The workshop will look at the role of e-science in supporting new forms of
community and will also provide an opportunity to share experience from e-
science and e-social science pilot demonstrator projects. The event is
aimed at researchers working in e-science/social science, those interested
in Computer Supported Cooperative Work who might consider the potential of
the grid in this area, and those who are interested in collaborative
science or how to support it technically.
More details are available from the NCeSS website
(http://www.ncess.ac.uk/) under “Events” and “Agenda Setting Workshops”.
