Open Sceince Lunch: All about secure data archiving (Part 3 – FEGA Norway)


Lots of research data have a high reuse value and should be preserved after the project is finished, but not all of them can be shared openly. Join us for this Open Science Lunch to learn from FEGA Norway for archiving omics data that need restricted access.
Even though many types of data have a high reuse value, not all of them can be openly accessed for reuse by other researchers. Instead, these data require special ethical or privacy considerations and permissions for access. Only a few data archives in Norway offer solutions for secure, long-term preservation of research data that also include different ways of controlling access to archived data.
FEGA-Norway is the Norwegian Federated Node of EGA (European Genome-Phenome Archive) and is a repository developed and operated by ELIXIR Norway and UiO (TSD) for personally identifiable genetic and phenotypic research data. We will hear from Federico Bianchini on the technical archive solutions FEGA Norway offers. Additionally, Maria K. Andersen will present her own user-experience as a researcher with archiving transcriptomics and epigenomics data in FEGA Norway.
