Course description

The objective of this course is to inform about the primary considerations necessary when gathering personal data within a research context.

We are paying special attention to the legal framework underpinning the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), its different legal basis for handling data, especially  with public interest considerations as well as adherence to ethical guidelines such as those posited by the National Committee for Research Ethics in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (NESH).

Additionally, the course integrates institutional protocols as established by the University of Oslo (UiO), alongside data management planning, data categorization, secure storage, and relevant UiO-affiliated services.
