SES
In an increasingly globalised world, research is reaching beyond geographical borders, raising questions on the methods, laws, and possibilities in moving or sharing data internationally. As the volume and type of data we create becomes more varied, sensitive, and complex, we need to ask: what are our own responsibilities as professional researchers collecting data overseas? Who is ultimately accountable for data produced with foreign partners? What happens when national laws and policy differ dramatically? May strategies be usefully shared within or across disciplines? We are pleased to invite Early Career Researchers, Academics, and Support Staff to research projects with an international sharing focus. Join us at The University of Oxford to hear from key speakers from the UK’s international research landscape and join a discussion amongst peers with tangible experience in accessing, sharing, and managing data across borders.
We are currently taking abstract submissions from researchers (early career level upwards) embedded in international research projects, both in the EU and further afield, to speak (lightening talks) at When Research Crosses Borders about their experience. We welcome submissions from a variety of disciplines as well as visiting academics and those involved with industry, project support and research data management (with an aspect of sharing data across borders and collaborating internationally with project partners). Abstracts for these lightening talks should be no longer than 300 words and are due at 5pm on Wednesday 17th August. For further questions, please contact Sigourney Luz.
Expenses will be covered for all speakers attending from outside the Oxford area. Accommodation will be provided for speakers from The Universities of Cambridge and Southampton.
Submissions close 17th August.
