[Online] Available at:http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11911/186The Academy of Science of South Africa is facilitating the process to develop a Code of Conduct for Research under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), having hosted two stakeholder events that were attended by scientists and researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. We have set up a Steering Committee to oversee the process of developing a Code of Conduct for research, as well as a Drafting Committee who are drafting the document. At this virtual consultation forum, presentations will be offered on the process of developing a Code of Conduct, as well as on thematic areas of interest, including consent, genomics research, information matching programmes and the use of social media data in research. Stakeholders will be given an opportunity to share insights and provide comment on the development of the Code of Conduct.HTMLenPOPIAPersonal InformationCode of ConductForumPublic ConsultationResearchConsentInformation Matching ProgrammesGenomic ResearchResearch using information from Social MediaInformation RegulatorSteering CommitteeDrafting CommitteeSDG 4Video
