Andrew Michael Davidson

Short description

I provide research support for externally funded research at both national and international levels at the Faculty of Education, including the Research Council of Norway, Horizon Europe, NordForsk, and more. I assist throughout the entire application process, from the idea phase to concept development, planning, and submission. This includes call analysis, recruitment of project members, consortium building, project budgeting, development of Gantt charts and graphs, collection and drafting of letters of intent, memorandums of understanding, as well as reviewing and providing feedback on applications in light of evaluation criteria.

I am a superuser of INN’s project management tool “Prosjektportalen” and have training in PRINCE2 project methodology. I assist with project setup, data input, and training in the tool and in project management methodology.

I am also an advisor in artificial intelligence and provide training in privacy, ethics, and intellectual property rights related to the use of generative AI, particularly in research contexts. I am a member of INN’s institutional AI group, a member of Digi Innlandet’s AI Expert Group, and a member of NARMA’s network for artificial intelligence and research administration, in addition to the network for privacy and ethics. I am registered as an AI ambassador in Innlandet and contribute to the regional competence-building initiative for employees, together with other ambassadors from industry and the public sector.

I am also a privacy advisor and offer support to students, PhD candidates, researchers, and supervisors regarding privacy/GDPR in research projects. I can assist with, among other things, Sikt notifications and assessments of privacy and research ethics.
