Research on human subjects - legal and ethical aspects of handling sensitive data

This course is held in the Czech language.

Compliance with binding legislation and ethical standards is a prerequisite for research involving human subjects. The workshop will focus in particular on the legal and ethical aspects of protecting the privacy of research participants, which are then reflected in the handling and future possible use of sensitive data.

Open access: publications and preprints

webinar | EN

Continuing our series on open access, in this webinar we will discuss the role of EMBL in making science open. We will introduce Europe PMC - an open, free database of life science publications and preprints and explain how Europe PMC supports open access policies of many organisations, including EMBL. We will highlight how open access underpins innovation and the importance of licensing for reuse. Then, we will illustrate how open access to publications supports scientific reproducibility and the role that proper data citation plays in this process. Finally, we will look at preprints, as a tool for researchers to rapidly and openly share their work decoupled from the formal peer review process.

Where do I start with FAIRification of sensitive data?
