 The morning workshop, "Good practice in data management & data sharing with social research", delivered by Edinburgh University Data Library staff, features hands-on training with Research Data MANTRA, an online training resource to facilitate understanding of research data management and issues in data sharing. The objective of this training is to provide new entrants into the Scottish Graduate School of Social Science with a grounding in good data management and sharing practice before beginning their formal studies.

The afternoon workshop, "Overcoming obstacles to sharing data about human subjects", builds  on the morning skills enhancement workshop and aims to dig deeper into such issues as informed consent, anonymisation and pseudonomisation techniques, and complying with ethical and legal obligations in conducting research with human subjects.
