SURF, in collaboration with its partner DICE, is organising a Datathon focused on the theme of “Privacy and Sensitive Data.” This event is part of a series of Hackathons aimed at familiarising researchers with the free DICE data management services. The Datathon aims to tackle the challenge of effectively handling privacy and sensitive data.
While the significance of research cannot be overstated, the current landscape of international research collaborations, often involving public-private partnerships, necessitates careful consideration of ethical and legal aspects. It is thus crucial to demonstrate that research projects are designed with responsibility in mind.
Typically, many questions cover topics such as:
- Sensitive Data, Health Data
- Data Minimisation and Pseudonimisation
- Risk assessment and Mitigating Measures / DPIA, METC, DTIA
- Partnering and Collaboration
- Retention Periods / FAIR data / Archiving legislation
- Transparency and Consent Forms
- Privacy and Ethics
The DICE Datathon, will allow participants to work on practical solutions addressing these and other topics. They are invited to bring in their own ‘hard cases’ and dilemmas and be advised on how to tackle them responsibly.
The hackathon offers a chance to learn from the experts, but more importantly, learn by doing and learn from the use cases presented by the participants, and learn from working with the presented frameworks and tooling.
Participants will obtain hands-on experience on the management of their sensitive data with the facilities and workflows developed within the DICE project. Also planned are collaborative initiatives and guest presentations from other projects, offering a rich experience to Datathon participants on all aspects and challenges of sensitive data management.
Who should join?
The event will benefit students and researchers handling privacy-sensitive data.
