The managerial workshop was the third (and final) workshop to be undertaken as part of this research series.

Issues which will be discussed included

  • Licensing requirements from Ancestry
  • Security of data
  • Ownership of research outcomes
  • Management structure of a full scale project
  • Financial structure of a full scale project
  • Paths to dissemination and publicity
  • Any other topics which participants suggest are relevant
