The article of Professor Paul Quinn titled "Research under the GDPR – a level playing field for public and private sector research?" has been published in the Life Sciences, Society and Policy journal. The article looks at the role the EU’s General Data Regulation plays in determining which types of actors can conduct research with personal data. In doing so it focuses on the various legal bases that are available and attempts to discern whether the GDPR can be said to favour research in either the public or private domains. As the article explains, the picture is nuanced, with either type of research actor enjoying advantages and disadvantages in specific contexts.
