Responsibility and System for Personal Data at our Faculty

is the system that gives UiB an overview of all projects where personal data is processed. The system is intended to safeguard our statutory obligations and becomes even more important with the new Health Research Act, where the researcher’s personal responsibility is limited, while research institutions assume responsibility (system responsibility) for health research.

The faculty has proposed routines that will help ensure that research complies with applicable laws, ethical guidelines and follow up on UiB's responsibility as an institution responsible for research. This follow-up will take place in the RETTE system and responsibility will be placed at the department level since this is where the research takes place. The head of department will thus be responsible for the proper implementation of this.

The following measures will help safeguard this responsibility:

The institute appoints two RETTE contacts who receive training in technical use and regulations

Technical improvement in RETTE so that e.g. REK correspondence is directly entered, including final messages

Annual review of all projects registered in RETTE, with a short report to the faculty

Project managers who resign must ensure the transfer of responsibility for projects and data

Plan for deletion of personal data upon completion of all RETTE projects

DPIA, approvals and contracts must be stored on a server with access for the project manager and department management.

A mandatory e-course will be developed for registration and follow-up of projects in RETTE.

These measures will hopefully make it easier to ensure that projects are properly concluded, that responsibility is clearly assigned, and that personal data does not go astray. Ultimately, this is about public trust in research and willingness to participate in research projects.

Finally, let me thank you for the hard work of many of K2's academic staff with no fewer than five "Center for Outstanding Research" applications coordinated by K2 submitted this week.

This fall, we have taken the trip out of the office and out to visit the academic environments that teach at MED5 to MED9 and MED12.

The goal? To get to know each other better, learn more about what the professional communities are working on and finally put a face to who we send emails to!

We would love to have more people visit – would you like to visit us?
