All research projects at NTNU should develop a data management plan.
If your research data includes personal data, you should as a default report you project to Sikt. For more information:
NTNU-adapted guidance to the Science Europe template in DMPOnline can be found here.
Certain requirements apply to processing of personal data in research projects.
For an overview of relevant regulations and guidelines, se Collection of personal data for research projects.
A risk assessment must be performed before the processing of personal data can begin. For template and more information, se Risk assessment of research projects with personal data.
All student- and research projects processing personal data must send a notification to Sikt (the only exception is health research projects at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences). Link to the notification form can be found at the Sikt website. Medical and health research projects must also be approved by the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics (REK) before the project is initiated.
