The Code of Conduct on Data Protection for Research, adopted under GDPR Article 40 and endorsed by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) in 2022, offers practical guidance for research organisations on GDPR‑compliant data handling. It defines lawful bases for research processing, outlines conditions for consent, clarifies the role of data protection impact assessments, sets out governance and accountability mechanisms, and provides sector‑specific recommendations for handling personal data in research contexts.
