Sensitive data is a term that encompasses multiple meanings, including personal data, special category data, commercial-in-confidence data, and biological species data. The workshop will include speakers with a range of experiences of different data types (qualitative and quantitative), sharing best practices and guidance around topics such as compliance, anonymisation, and can sensitive data be open?
Aims: The aims are to share best practices around the use of sensitive data in research and discuss the difficulties and limitations associated with using such data. We are also trying to increase the visibility of data stewardship work done and roles on research projects, and help them bring the community together.
Who should attend? This event will be of interest to research data stewards, research data managers, post-graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and anyone with an interest in the management of sensitive data.
