Your research involves interviews, health data, political opinions or other personal data. How can you manage and share them responsibly while complying with GDPR and Open Science requirements? This webinar provides practical guidance on managing sensitive and special category data throughout the research lifecycle. Participants will explore the legal basis for data processing under the GDPR, informed consent for data sharing and preservation, pseudonymisation and anonymisation, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), collaboration with the University’s Data Protection Officer (DPO), and the controlled sharing of data through Data@UNIMI using tools such as Data Use Agreements and Data Access Protocols. The course combines the legal framework with practical examples to help researchers make informed decisions about the responsible management and sharing of sensitive research data.
