Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: Researchers, conducting human subject research where they are working with and collecting data and/or tissue from human participants

Course Description;

This event will provide guidance on the process of obtaining informed consent from participants, and will advise on how researchers can demonstrate their commitment to the dignity, respect, and data protection rights of participants - both during the active research phase and after project completion.  

The talk will also look at copyright ownership, and participant right of review, in co-created/generated materials – which is of relevance to studies which, for example, invite participants to keep diaries, submit photographs, and create zines.
