Universities, companies, organisations and societies are increasingly facing enormous quantities of data. It is a great challenge to transform these Big Data into knowledge, which is why Leiden University has launched a University-wide Data Science Research Programme.

Within LRS, the implementation of the data management programme focuses on new facilities, support and tools for managing and sharing research data. The aim is to facilitate data management for institutes and researchers, while also enabling them to fulfil the requirements in the areas of integrity,…

If your research project involves collecting private or otherwise sensitive data, you must ensure adequate data protection measures are taken. Research must be conducted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In terms of patient data, for instance, when used for research carried…

A mix of data research, artificial intelligence and archaeology led to lively discussions on 31 January. On that day the unique event 'AI & Data Science @ Archaeology' took place in which the Data Science Research Programme (DSRP), SAILS and the Faculty of Archaeology joined forces.

As a university employee, you probably work with personal data. That is not just names and telephone numbers – it can also include things like cookies. How can you make sure you are working in a privacy-proof way?

Data management can be defined as the creation, storage, maintenance, disclosure, archiving and sustainable preservation of research data.

Research data must be securely preserved, during but also after your research. Read about data management, data retention and open science.

Your options for data storage may vary depending on factors such as size and sensitivity of the data or collaboration with partners outside the university. We are all responsible for data protection. To keep (personal) data as secure as possible, the university has established an information security…

Any loss of control over stored personal data constitutes a potential data leak. In most cases this concerns stolen (or lost) digital files, but a stolen (or mislaid) printed list containing personal data also represents a data leak. It is important that you report any data leak.

If you bring in a (new) person who will be processing personal data for you, this person is not allowed to use this information for his or her own purposes. You need to formalise this in a data processing agreement. The university will usually have an agreement in place.

A data processing register is a record of which personal data you process and who you share this data with. If you collect personal data for your research, you must record this in the data processing register.

Individuals have the right to instruct the university to delete their personal data in a number of cases. For instance, if the university no longer needs the data, or if the person withdraws consent previously given.

As a standard, your workplace comes equipped with a limited amount of disk space. We offer a number of options for extending your disk space. In addition, ISSC can help you recover lost files.

Data analysis is the process of converting raw data into information that can be used to answer research questions. To help you interpret your raw data SOLO Research and Lab Support supports different types of data analysis software.

How does a human subject respond physiologically during an experiment? Measuring these responses offers valuable data. Heart rate, brain activity, skin response and eye moment can al be measured using various types of equipment.

How does a human subject respond physiologically during and experiment? Measuring these responses offers valuable data.

Once the research has been completed, the research data must be retained securely for the long term. This means that the integrity, availability and – if required – confidentiality of the data must be guaranteed.

Are you handling personal data just once, for instance when taking the minutes of a meeting or organising an employee outing? You do not need to include this use in the data processing register if you stick to the following conditions.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in force since 25 May 2018. Whenever you work with personal data, you have to record what happens to this data. The university will support you in working in a privacy-proof way.

Making data FAIR is not always easy. Automating the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperation and Reuse of scientific data and services requires detailed planning by a skilled and experienced data steward. But who are these data stewards, where do we find them and how do we get to work with them to…

As an employee of Leiden University, you probably work with or come into contact with personal data. The concept of ‘personal data’ is core to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you work with personal data, you must be able to explain clearly, comprehensively and in simple language how…

Research

From 14 to 29 PhD candidates, seven actively involved faculties and, above all, lots of innovative interdisciplinary research, all with data science as the common denominator. The university’s Data Science Research Programme (DSO) has proven so successful that after five years on a start-up grant it…

During an evacuation, employees and students of the Science Faculty gather at the following assembly points:

How can data science improve tax administration? Mark Pijnenburg, a senior data scientist at the Netherlands Tax and Customs Administration, decided to investigate this in a dissertation. He talks about his experiences: 'Sometimes a technique is scientifically interesting, but not applicable in real…

Only the fittest cyclists stand a chance of taking yellow in the brutal Tour de France. Team Jumbo-Visma is working with data scientists from Leiden. They have analysed the stages and performance of Jumbo-Visma’s riders in previous Grand Tours. And they are researching how to determine the fitness level…
