Colleagues, a friend at NISO asked me to share this with Colorado librarians.

Please join NISO in September for a freely-available event on privacy in sharing of research data … 

 

Privacy Implications of Research Data

http://www.niso.org/news/events/2016/september_joint/

 

Sunday, September 11, 2016

9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., MT

Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, Denver, CO

 

In conjunction with the International Data Week event being held in Denver, CO, this NISO meeting will be offered both as an on-site event as well as a virtual (streaming) event. There is no cost to the attendee, regardless of the selected option!

 

NISO (National Information Standards Organization) and The Research Data Alliance (RDA) have formed a joint working group with the intent of addressing a major challenge regarding the advancement of scientific data sharing: privacy and security. In particular, the sharing of human-subject data is hampered by lack of any framework that adequately factors in and addresses those concerns. The RDA-NISO Joint Working Group is taking on the challenge of creating a global consensus framework that can address the various privacy and security concerns.

 

With that objective in mind, attendees will hear from experts on the following:

 

·      The feasibility of balancing research requirements with the need for privacy protections

·      The limits of anonymization in the context of personally identifiable information

·      The demands of security, privacy, and trust

·      Privacy, policy, and data governance in university research practice

·      Privacy and legal frameworks in the European Union

 

And more…

 

Confirmed speakers include John Wilbanks, Sage Bionetworks; Micah Altman, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Christine Borgman, University of California–Los Angeles; Christoph Bruch, Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres; Paul Burton, Professor of Infrastructural Epidemiology, University of Bristol, England, with other names to be released soon!
