The GDPR 4 Data Support (GDPR4DS) course is an introductory programme designed for data supporters who want to deepen their knowledge of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the context of scientific research, and who wish to further develop their role in protecting personal data.
This course strengthens the intermediary role of data supporters by increasing GDPR awareness, expanding knowledge, and facilitating communication on GDPR-related topics between researchers on the one hand and privacy officers on the other.

- The course consists of two in-person days, with a break of approximately four to five weeks between the sessions. These days are led by two RDNL coaches.
