There is plenty of Research Data in Biological and Chemical Research,
but sometimes it is not published or trapped in bad supplemental data.
If instead data is open and public, it can be re-used to generate
further insights or to develop and validate bioinformatics approaches.
While generic research data repositories exist, it is really the Open
Data in discipline-specific Repositories and Databases that maximises
the re-usability.
Finally, making data FAIR and Open should not be an afterthought,
instead generating good and FAIR data should be baked right into the
standard operating procedures in the lab.

The aim of this webinar is to address the most important data protection aspects in the context of research and academic projects. In collaboration with colleagues from the legal department of the MLU an overview of the legal framework of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other basic regulations will be offered. The Open Science Team – ULB will also provide advice on how to anonymize or pseudonymize quantitative and qualitative datasets, and some practical examples on how to write a consent forms for projects in which interview data are planned. Join us in this webinar and take the opportunity to ask any questions you may have on these matters.
