Legal aspects and data protection in relation to the CRIS system

Abstract

CRIS and its integrated large amounts of data are slowly becoming one of the topics of the digital revolution. Many institutions are enthusiastic about the innovative data analysis methods of our time for research and customer loyalty. From a data protection point of view, however, the processing of large amounts of data is one of the greatest conceivable challenges. The legal aspects depend on the legislation of the country in which the CRIS system is operated, the level at which CRIS is operated and the type of data collected. This case study will map legal aspects of research data processing and protection in Slovakia and Germany.
