The SSHOC project announces an interactive workshop aimed at practitioners and policy makers involved in the work on GDPR, research ethics, and Code of Conducts.
Participants will gain insights on experiences about codes of conducts, offering the opportunity to discuss the need for code of conducts, and possible challenges and experiences regarding establishments of code of conducts.
The discussions will be incorporated in the work of a further SSHOC task, namely to initiate a Code of Conduct for Social Sciences and Humanities.
