The effective recording and management of data is integral to good research practice.  This is particularly the case where the data holds information about individuals that potentially identifies them.  Good research practice seeks to maintain the data for current and future research, and it is important that any personal data held be managed accordingly over time to ensure the confidentiality of the individuals concerned.  The GDPR legislation that came into effect in May 2018 highlights the importance of effective data management for personal data.  It also clarifies established data protection practice in recognising the importance of anonymization and in acknowledging through exemptions that data can be held over time for research purposes rather than having to be disposed of.  This session will combine a review of how research data is treated by the GDPR legislation and match this to the good practice in research data management that funders and government are looking to embed within Universities.

By the end of the session, participants will:

  • Have a clear understanding of how research data is affected by GDPR legislation.
  • Appreciate the distinction between how personal data needs to be managed generally and how research data can be managed under GDPR exemptions.
  • Understand good practice in research data management and how the University is supporting researchers in their management of research data.
  • Be aware of options for how research data should be managed to ensure both good practice and address data protection needs.

Led by: Chris Awre, Head of Information Services, Brynmor Jones Library; and Luke Thompson, Information Compliance Officer, Governance and Compliance.

Location: To be confirmed by email to you before the event.

This session is being run by the University’s Research and Innovation Team and is open to both research staff and research students.

The Skills Development and Social Forum will also provide regular opportunities for socialising with other postgraduate students, facilitating collaboration with peers across the disciplines and subjects in a supportive and friendly environment. The forum will:

  • Enable students to feel part of a welcoming Postgraduate Researcher community.
  • Provide students the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others including professionals from within and outside the University, post doctoral researchers, experienced academics, and "senior" PhD students from the University.
  • Provide a range of development opportunities for PhD students to share their experience with other PhD students, and to develop a range of general skills including: presentation, public speaking, public engagement, teamwork, leadership and group work.  
  • Enable students to positively influence a wide range of support services and facilities.  

These sessions cover topics that have been requested by students. 

They are in addition to the formal sessions offered by various teams within the University. 

They cover topics that students would like a little more information on, a short useful summary or sign-posting session if you like, or an opportunity to hear about somebody else's research journey.  

The sessions are not compulsory, it is your choice to attend. They are centrally organised by the Graduate School, 

Please note these sessions are not intended to replace:

  1. Any of the modules offered as part of the PGTS (Post Graduate Training Scheme).  You should still attend the sessions that your department recommends for you or that are compulsory as part of your particular study route.
  2. Any formal skills sessions that your individual school or faculty runs for PhD/PGR students.
  3. The Skills Development Workshops for Postgraduate Students offered by the Library Skills Team.
  4. Formal CPD sessions for the professional development of University staff that are organised by the Staff Development Team or Learning Enhancement and Academic Practice (LEAP).
