On March 9-10, the database managers of NEAR held a two-day workshop on-site at the Aging Research Center at Karolinska Institutet, with the main purpose of discussing and developing overall matters of database management. The first day was focused on publishing and sharing your data, where three representatives from the KI Data Access Unit (DAU) held a presentation about open access to research data, sensitive data, and legal aspects of storing data.
In the evening, the database managers and NEAR Operational Group went out for dinner together at the restaurant “Stallmästaregården”.
The second day was devoted to the NEAR application process and data delivery from the local databases and ended with lunch and a summary of the workshop. Overall, the workshop has rendered many discussions and new ideas, which will be implemented for future work within NEAR.
