Data at UQ

Data ethics training

Request an introductory presentation on the Enterprise Data Ethics Framework

Following endorsement of the Enterprise Data Ethics Framework at the University Senior Executive Team meeting on Thursday 15th July 2021, the Data Strategy & Governance team invite you to request an introductory presentation for your work area or team.

We are happy to tailor these presentations to provide guidance on how the Framework applies specifically to data uses that are common in your area.

UQ staff development training

There are two Staff Development courses available that will help strengthen your skills in ethical decision-making when working with data. One of these courses specifically focuses on ethical data use, whereas the other is a general ethics awareness workshop.

Data ethics: What does it mean for you?
This online workshop is designed for all UQ staff working with data in any way in their role. It will discuss the Ethical Principles from the Enterprise Data Ethics Framework. Hypothetical scenarios will be used to demonstrate how the Principles can be applied to assist in decision-making.
