This face to face course is run by the Researcher Academy

The Researcher Academy courses are very popular and the majority are run in both semesters to give you the opportunity to attend at a time of the year that suits you. 

Target Audience: All researchers and research enablers (doctoral students, postdocs, fellows, academics and technical professionals) 

Description:

During this interactive workshop Elvira Perez Vallejos (Professor of Digital Technology for Mental Health) and Bernd Stahl (Professor of Critical Research in Technology) will present some of the main issues on data bias, diversity, representativeness and sharing (privacy, consent, regulation) before providing attendees with an in-house tool, the RRI cards.  

The aim of this workshop is to familiarise attendees with the AREA 4Ps Framework and provide a solution-focus perspective on how best to solve some of the issues presented.

Booking Conditions

Latecomer policy

Researchers should plan to arrive prior to the advertised course start time. Except for exceptional reasons, there will be no admittance to a Researcher Academy or Faculty Training Programme (FTP) course 15 minutes after the advertised course start time.

Importance of booking commitment

When booking on to a Researcher Academy short course you are entering into a commitment to attend. If you find that you are no longer available to attend you MUST cancel your place (on the system if more than three days before the course) or if at short notice by emailing ra-training@nottingham.ac.uk. This will ensure that your place can be offered to another researcher on the waiting list. Failure to cancel a place results in other researchers missing out on places through the waiting list process.

It is unacceptable for researchers to just not attend when booked onto a course. The Researcher Academy maintains records of those who repeatedly do not attend courses they have booked. This may affect future eligibility to book onto further Researcher Academy courses and will affect considerations for Researcher Academy funded opportunities.
