Abstract
Over the last three decades, the development of information and communication technologies has increased the number of ways in which (personal) data can be collected, stored, processed and shared. In this context, various regulations - including the famous European GDPR - have emerged to regulate the processing of personal data. Scientific research is no exception, and new rules are now being imposed. While the initial determination to ensure that researchers comply with these new standards was relatively timid, a new impetus is now emerging, particularly through the main funding bodies - Belgian and European - which are now imposing increasingly strict rules on ethics and data protection. When is data considered "personal"? What is the difference between pseudonymised, anonymous and encrypted data? What can easily be put in place at the different stages of research to limit ethical and data protection issues? How to navigate these sometimes confusing and/or technical legal obligations? Certain practices put in place at the earliest stages of research often make it possible to limit the constraints (and unpleasant surprises) later on. During this workshop we will explore these issues together and try to identify the main challenges we face in the course of our research. So don't hesitate to come with your own questions. Together we will try to get a clearer picture so that these 'new' obligations are not just seen as an additional constraint, but also as an opportunity to strengthen the quality of our research and the bond of trust that binds us to our fieldwork and, more broadly, to society.
