Ethics

The use of study data requires institutions to make ethical considerations. Internationally, several codes of ethics have been developed for the use of study data. A good example is the Jisc code of ethics. The acceleration plan, together with SURF, the institutions and ethical experts, is developing an ethical code for the use of study data in the Dutch context. If educational institutions want to use study data, it is important to at least comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). The AVG sets high requirements for the use of study data.

Privacy and ethics reference framework for study data

Under the direction of the Safe and Secure Use of Study Data zone, the 'Privacy and Ethics Reference Framework for Study Data' has been drawn up. The reference framework serves to give everyone studying or working in higher education the confidence that study data is handled carefully and securely. The umbrella organisations Association of Universities of Applied Sciences and Universities of the Netherlands have also embraced the Frame of Reference.

During the development of the Reference Framework, the zone developed a dilemma game. A game that facilitates and brings to life the dialogue on the responsible use of study data.
