Meeting the TSRC

We travelled to the University of Birmingham for an introductory meeting with the Third Sector Research Centre (TSRC). The TSRC are one of the ESRC research centres we are working with as part of our project.

Overall, it was a positive meeting. The three main topics our discussion covered were intellectual property rights, consent and anonymisation, and administrative organisation.

There is enthusiasm from the TSRC to get a data management plan established and embedded soon. Most of their research is starting now and they want to have good procedures in place and avoid later data problems. Our next task is to work with the TSRC to undertake a data audit in April/May with training taking place in June.
