Data Privacy Handbook

The Data Privacy Handbook is a practical guide on handling personal data in scientific research, primarily written for Utrecht University researchers and research support staff in the Netherlands. It is an initiative of Research Data Management Support, in collaboration with privacy and data experts at Utrecht University. The Data Privacy Handbook consists of: A knowledge base which explains how the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Dutch: Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming) applies to scientific research, including guidelines and good practices in carrying out GDPR-compliant scientific research; An overview of privacy-enhancing techniques & tools and practical guidance on their implementation; Use Cases in the form of research projects with privacy-related issues, for which a reusable solution (e.g., tool, workflow) is shared.

Workshop Public Engagement

This interactive workshop focuses on science communication as part of Public Engagement within Open Science. Through a ‘Whisper game’ and ‘Secret Mission’ containing role plays, students learn what public engagement entails, how scientific topics can be explained tailored to a specific audience and how they can incorporate public engagement in their own career. This workshop was created by students of the Graduate School of Life Sciences at Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht as part of the Open Science course within the Life Sciences and Society profile.

Faces of Open Science workshop

Drawing on Utrecht University's Faces of Open Science project, we’ve developed a set of ready-to-use educational activities that invite participants to explore the rich diversity of perspectives within the open science movement. These engaging, interactive materials help learners reflect on their own views, values, and roles in shaping open science—making abstract principles tangible, personal, and actionable. The materials can be used in full as a 4-hour workshop or can be split up in separate activities that take between 30 and 60 minutes. Activities are all developed to promote interaction between participants, for example by storytelling, crafting, or debating.

Libguide Evaluating Sources

The sources you use when writing a scientific text (such as a thesis, paper, etc.) largely determine the quality of that text. Before you use the sources you have found their relevance and scientific nature should be evaluated. In this Libguide we will offer you several methods and tools.

Playing Perspectives - a game design toolkit

Students collectively design a game on a polarizing topic and are stimulated to explore and gain a deeper understanding of various perspectives and presuppositions (including their own), recognize rhetorical narratives and frames, and devise strategies to overcome these. Students adopt active listening skills when conversing with one another. Playing Perspectives is based on game-based and transformative learning principles. Playing Perspectives consists of three phases. These can be conducted consecutively or separate from one another as stand alone activities, depending on the time available, your learning objectives and the desire to have a playable game as end product. The materials that are developed by students in each of these phases can be uploaded onto Edusources and used by other teachers if they only want to conduct one of the later phases as stand alone activity. Playing Perspectives was developed as part of the Utrecht University Comenius project Fostering an Open Mind and Open Attitude in Higher Education that strives to stimulate perspective taking and dialogue in academic education with creative learning activities. The other learning activities that have been developed as part of the Open Minds project are the Open Mind digital game and The Square (Het Vlak; a creative dialogue methodology). Please note: the photos required for phase 1 can be downloaded from the Teaching & Learning Collection of the UU (see links).

Ethics in research

Login required (free). After login, navigate to the right toolkit. This Ethics in Research Online Course offers guidelines to the most important elements that researchers will need to consider in relation to ethical scientific behaviour. These ethical rules generally hold for the global research community, but each country or institution may have defined their particular rules as well. Obviously, the rules of your country or institution are the ones you will need to follow.

Landscapes | Contested GM Worldviews - (Andrew Flachs)

An article in Scientific American (https://edu.nl/4r6q7) bringing a science and technology studies lens to Genetically Modified Organisms, provoked louder than normal responses from the pro biotech crowd. What can we learn from the exchange? Dr Andrew Flachs, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Purdue University, studied the role of seeds on farmer livelihoods in rural India as part of his book, Cultivating Knowledge. We discuss the arguments of the article and its malcontents to try and reach a broader understanding of what this debate is really about. Episode Links Andrew Flachs personal website.
