WELDD Webinar: Ethical and Legal considerations operating drones in the European Union

Date: 
05 Feb 2020 - 09:00 to 10:00 UTC

If you use drones for data collection or are interested in the intersection between privacy, ethics, and regulations, join us to hear an overview of EU regulations and privacy laws as they relate to drone use.
 

This webinar is Part 1 of 2 in the lead up to the WELDD plenary session, where we'll be kicking off the new working group being spun up out of the sUAS data IG.

Many researchers are now using drones as tools for data collection. As this field has matured, researchers, funders, and institutions are wrestling with what formalising their operation entails. Challenges range from regulatory and engineering tasks through ethical, procedural, and cyberinfrastructure considerations.

 

The sUAS data IG is a forum for engagement of all of these topics, particularly as they relate to data resources. WELDD is the first WG to be spun up from the IG and will be focusing on how data ethics and legal requirements impact drone data collection.
