Forums and network groups
The national SND Network have many ways of collaborating and exchanging knowledge. Below we present our active forums and working groups. Are you a part of the SND Network? Use the contact details below if you want to know more about the different groups.
Forums and networks
IT forum
SND's IT forum provides an opportunity for IT experts connected to research data support and related activities in the SND Network to meet and discuss current problems and possible solutions. As the IT forum is primarily intended for people with a background in IT, the presentations and issues discussed will be of a more advanced technical character. You are welcome to participate even if you don’t work in IT.

Legal network
The purpose of the legal network is to highlight and discuss the legal problems we encounter in the work with research data. The group is open to legal officers and data protection officers in the SND Network.
Contacts: Erica Schweder and Maria Skoglund, juridik@snd.se
Working groups
Roadmap for research data activities ("Orienteringskartan")
A working group which focuses on developing a tool based on SND's previous roadmap for DAU establishment and the SUHF National Roadmap for Open Science. The work so far has resulted in the so-called ”Orienteringskartan”, which is a practical tool for HEIs on their way to open science.
Contact: Elisabeth Strandhagen, elisabeth.strandhagen@snd.se
Researchdata.se
A reference group within the SND Network which provides feedback on the development of researchdata.se. Researchdata.se will be a national portal where researchers can find, share, and learn more about managing and sharing research data. The development of researchdata.se is made in collaboration with other research infrastructures and organizations.

Exchange of and access to training resources
Coordinates training efforts and resources for researchers, doctoral students, and students, as well as research data support staff in the DAU, in order to create a knowledge hub for the SND Network.
Contacts: David Rayner and Karin Westin Tikkanen, utbildning@snd.se
Terminology work
Works with establishing a national glossary of common Research Data Management terminology in collaboration with the Swedish Research Council.
Contact: Lisa Isaksson, lisa.isaksson@snd.se
Disclosure of research data containing personal information
The group has developed a checklist for dissemination of research data containing personal information. The checklist complements SND's guide for disclosing research data containing personal information, "Vägledning för utlämnande av forskningsdata med personuppgifter", which provides practical guidance in assessing requests for disclosure. The checklist is published on Zenodo and will be published in web format on the SND website.
This group has completed the work with the checklist and is no longer active.
