The GDPR poses strict requirements with regard to information to and consent from research participants. What implications does this have for social scientists grounding their research on own interview data, official documents or media debates? When is consent needed, and how detailed must the consent be?
It is increasingly expected, and even required, that data produced through publicly funded research is made available to others. When is it reasonable to restrict access to your data? How to weigh this against concerns of confidentiality? When should you anonymise versus pseudonymise interview data?
These and other questions could be addressed when ARENA invites the following data experts to meet research staff in an open Q&A session over lunch:
- Maren Magnus Voll, the University of Oslo's Data Protection Officer (personvernombud)
- Vilde Sørbø Nenseth, Adviser, IT Director´s Office Staff
- Are Evju, Adviser, IT Director´s Office Staff
- Espen Grøndahl, Chief Engineer, IT Director´s Office Staff
