The main goal of this course is to give advanced notions and practical examples and exercises about the Data Management activities for researchers and research support staff, with special attention to the management of sensitive data.
The objectives of the course are:
The objectives of the course are:
- Understand the main characteristics of different kinds of data storage and storage supports, to be able to take the most appropriate decision.
- Examine and compare the most used data repositories, and how they can respond to the needs of your project.
- Learn the basic concepts of the current European and Spanish legislation for managing correctly personal data, and when the collaboration of an expert is mandatory.
