REGIONAL WORKSHOPS ON FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND HE RESEARCHERS
In collaboration with JISC, JISC Legal and the Information Commissioner's Office, RIN (the Research Information Network) has organised a series of three Regional Workshops on Freedom of Information and HE Researchers.
Please see the RIN website http://www.rin.ac.uk/news/events/regional-workshops-freedom-information-and-he-researchers for further details.
Three FREE regional workshops will take places as follow:
22 March 2011, University of Manchester - to be chaired by Matthew Stephenson, Head of Information Governance, University of Salford
1 April 2011, University College London - to be chaired by Professor Robert Hazell, Director, UCL Constitution Unit
12 April 2011, Strathclyde University, Glasgow - chair tbc
Who should attend? This event is intended primarily for HE researchers, including research students and senior research managers.
Why attend? To develop an understanding of the challenges and opportunities represented by FoI, and how they can best be addressed.
Aims:
• to provide an opportunity for initial evidence-gathering, by seeking views from HE researchers about their practices and concerns;
• to identify what might be appropriate to inform and support HE researchers in their approach to FoI (training material, guidance, case studies, etc.);
• to engage in awareness-raising
