This online 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: This course is primarily intended for Researchers (staff and students) from all faculties. 

The University of Nottingham is committed to compliance with the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilisation to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the EU’s Nagoya Protocol Implementation Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 511/2014).

Please see SharePoint pages for more information https://uniofnottm.sharepoint.com/sites/ResearchEthicsandIntegrity/SitePages/Access-and-Benefits-Sharing.aspx

Researchers who source or use resources in scope of the Protocol are required to ensure that genetic resources, and traditional knowledge associated with those resources, have been accessed in accordance with applicable access and benefit sharing laws implemented by the source country.

As part of the compliance process, researchers are required to submit a declaration of due diligence at the request of the Office for Product Safety and Standards, the UK’s Competent Authority for the Protocol, for each research funding grant received that involves the utilisation of genetic resources and/or associated traditional knowledge that are subject to the Nagoya Protocol. ​​​​​​​

Learning outcomes/objectives
