Data Protection and the GDPR

MS29 Tested connections between partners with live data and researcher projects

This Milestone assesses the testing of the remote Safe Room connections between the Secure Data Facilities of the GESIS Secure Data Center and the UKDS Secure Lab. These tests were carried out by bona fide researchers who had submitted full research applications to the respective data service and involved the analysis of live data. This report includes a summary of the researcher applications and tests as well as the researcher feedback collected following the test, which will inform further improvements to the service for researchers.

MS30 Recommendations for a platform for further expansion

The purpose of this milestone is to highlight one section of the Deliverable D5.10 White Paper on Remote Access to Sensitive Data in the Social Sciences and Humanities: 2021 and Beyond. This section concerns recommendations for proposed future solutions.

D5.12 International Secure Data Facility Professionals Network (ISDFPN)

The purpose of this report is to describe the motivation and set up of the International Secure Data
Facility Professionals Network (ISDFPN), its aims, first steps, and future plans.
ISDFPN has been set up as part of the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud project (SSHOC) Task
5.4 with the aim of bringing together international colleagues working in or towards Secure Data
Facilities, to share expertise and experiences, discuss relevant areas of our work, and to spark
collaboration as well as develop new ideas.

SSHOCingly good and sustainable tools

This report is a shortened version that contains the second part of the SSHOC legacy booklet, showcasing the tools, resources and plug & play communities produced by the SSHOC project, through their dedicated factsheets. We start this section with the SSH Open Marketplace, and continue with the factsheets per category: Sharing & Discovery, Data Management, Processing & Analysis, Datasets, Training & Support

SSHOC Legacy booklet

The social sciences and humanities (SSH) encompasses researchers with roots in very diverse domains and methodological frameworks, from heritage researchers documenting work with 3D digital objects to interdisciplinary social researchers seeking new modes to analyse existing sources, to name but a few. In the digital age, new insights and ground-breaking research increasingly relies on powerful, tailored tools and environments for research within and across disciplines.

SSHOC Exploitation Plan

This Exploitation Plan gives an overview of the joint and multiple individual exploitation paths aimed at increasing the impact of all the Key Exploitable Results developed during the SSHOC project lifetime (from January 2019 to April 2022). The Plan is aligned with the contractual obligations defined in articles 28 and 29 of the SSHOC Grant Agreement (No. 823782).

SSHOC Workshop: Data Protection in research practice: The GDPR and the ELDAH Consent Form Wizard

13 October 2021

Location: University of Zadar

In this workshop, we discussed the European legal framework for data privacy and processing personal data (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR). The workshop helped participants understand how their research is affected by the GDPR and what issues to pay attention to.

SSHOC workshop: SSH Code of Conduct

17 March 2021

Location: Online

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.

SSHOC workshop: SSH Code of Conduct

17 March 2021

Location: Online

The SSHOC project announces an interactive workshop for policy makers, practitioners and others working with GDPR, research ethics, and Codes of Conduct.

Participants will gain practical insights into the challenges inherent in establishing a Code of Conduct and learn the how and why from experts in the field.

The outcomes of the workshop will be incorporated into an ongoing project task to set up a Code of Conduct specifically for Social Sciences and Humanities researchers.

Putting Data Protection into Practice: GDPR and the DARIAH ELDAH Consent Form Wizard

13 October 2020

Location: Online

Humanities and social sciences researchers encounter a number of data protection issues in their work. An example is scientific events where photos and videos are taken and legal participant consent is required in order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Surveys and other research activities pose similar problems.
