Preparing for Brexit
18 December 2018

Brexit deal or no deal? In this fast paced changing scenario, MRS has prepared a guide for research practitioners on data transfer.

With the EU stressing the importance of a deal, and adequacy-plus, to guarantee continued cross-border data flows, MRS continues to work with the Advertising Association (AA) and other stakeholders in lobbying the UK government for GDPR data adequacy arrangement.

Continued cross-border data flows after Brexit will be critical for the sector and MRS continues to work with a range of stakeholders in lobbying the UK government for a GDPR data adequacy arrangement that will ensure continued data transfers between the EU and the UK. However with the ongoing uncertainty around the Brexit negotiations MRS members need to start thinking about contingency planning for data flows in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Our new Brexit hub has the latest news, position statements and general advice for members.

Our Standards and Policy team has been strengthened with the arrival of Camilla Ravazzolo as EU Policy Manager. Camilla will help us to meet the new demands of our work on EU issues and supporting EphMRA’ standards and policy activities. Please take a look at our new Standards Review 2017-2018 explaining the work that MRS does in protecting and promoting the research sector. PDF copy available here
