Workshops

SND organizes workshops for researchers and research support staff on many aspects of research data management. Where possible, the workshops are documented and the materials made openly available.   

Workshop – Digital tools for risk assessment and protective measures in tabular data containing personal information 

The purpose of this workshop is to introduce participants to basic concepts and practical tools for statistical disclosure control in tabular data. 

The workshop highlights both the possibilities and the limitations of existing tools and methods for pseudonymization, including an introduction to the R package sdcMicro to illustrate how statistical methods can be applied to assess the risk of disclosure and re-identification of individuals in tabular datasets. Participants are given a basic introduction to the principles and functions of the tool and are then able to apply their knowledge to a synthetic dataset. 

The course material is directly available on Zenodo.org via Digitala verktyg för riskbedömning och skyddsåtgärder i tabulära data med personuppgifter. The material is currently available in Swedish.
