New guide gives researchers more detailed guidance on the use of personal data in research

On 27 October, the University of Tartu senate decided to award the Johan Skytte medal to Margit Sutrop, member of the Riigikogu and Professor of Practical Philosophy at the University of Tartu. The highest award granted to university members, the University of Tartu Grand Medal, is given to two university researchers for services of particular value. Also, the recipients of the University of Tartu Star of Appreciation, Medal, Badge of Distinction and the decoration “100 Semesters at the University of Tartu” have been selected.

The University of Tartu Centre for Ethics invites researchers who come into contact with personal data in their research to familiarise themselves with the Guide for data protection in research.

The Centre for Ethics and the Centre for Applied Social Sciences of the University of Tartu, in cooperation with Estonian Research Council, invite scientists to participate in a survey.

A three-year project that will reinforce efforts to promote adherence to the highest standards of research ethics and integrity and prevent research misconduct began in January 2023.
