Course
The UT offers the course 'Handling Personal Data in Research". This course, which is open to every UT staff member, will help you understand the range of perspectives needed to build and demonstrate compliance with privacy regulation in research. Therefore, this e-learning material supports an active learning approach. You will be stimulated to reflect on the knowledge and competencies you need to fulfil your role as a professional. After completion of this course, you will be able to ask the right questions regarding the risks and measures to safeguard the rights of participants in a research project.
To be a responsible researcher requires an active approach to data protection. In this course you follow a student who learns with a multi-disciplinary group of friends WHY and HOW to use the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in research.
