Beyond personal data: Training on hard-to-share research data

Public Summary

Sharing data is key to responsible and reusable research. However, it is not always straightforward to share data. In the social sciences and humanities domain a lot of work has recently been done to overcome challenges in sharing personal data, but other challenges remain. In this series of workshops for early-career researchers, we address three of these and focus on: 1) Sharing non-personal sensitive data through a virtual environment; 2) Sharing field notes; 3) The ethics of sharing fieldwork data. The materials and training guidance is shared for reuse and stand-alone guides will be produced on each topic to reach a wider audience.

This project was funded through the Bottleneck strand. Bottleneck projects are small scale, lasting 12 months and with a budget of maximum €150,000. There was a one-off sum of €950,000 per TDCC available to distribute through this funding strand in the launching phase of the TDCCs. The light-touch collaborative process to develop these projects began in mid-2023 and lasted until all funding was allocated by the end of 2024. It is no longer possible to apply.

Did you know that we have a Zenodo community? It is a virtual space where TDCC-SSH projects can share deliverables and other outputs from their collaborative projects. Keep an eye on TDCC SSH Zenodo for outputs from our running projects.
