Course structure

This course should take you no longer than an hour to compete. For each section we've provided a range of enrichment reading that you can use to broaden your knowledge of ethical and legal issues relating to EOSC, as well as to refresh your understanding of key topics that feed into these issues, such as research data management, Open Science, GDPR and sensitive data.
These resources can be found in the supporting resources section and are signposted throughout. We recommend you access them in your own time as points of reference to further your learning, as opposed to the designated content throughout the 5 main learning sections of the course itself.


Prerequisites

It is advised that users taking this course first complete the 'Introduction to EOSC' course developed for the stakeholder communities in which they train.
