Hi all,
Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, I agree a formal agreement is the preferred route and my recommendation to our University Research Committee will be to integrate this into our RDM policy (which is somewhat vague at the moment on the details). The original research was externally funded but not by one of the typical UK funding bodies, so I doubt they have a policy that we can fall back on here, but I'll liaise with them as well. I'll check if the student is being funded too as it's just occurred to me that there might be repercussions about him sharing HIS data...
Thanks again!
Best wishes,
Jenny
