Training workshops on managing and sharing research data
On 11 March 2008, as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, the
Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS) is holding two workshops 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.
These hands-on workshops 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 workshops focus 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 workshops will provide theoretical information and practical
exercises.
Two parallel workshops will be held at the University of Essex and the
University of Leeds on 11 March 2008 between 13.15 and 16.30. There is
no cost for these workshops but places are limited so booking is
essential. Priority will be given to researchers actively collecting
data or to ethics committee members.
