Consent

I am aware that the Swedish Museum of Natural History is a State agency which means that any messages sent to the Museum become public documents.
Results from NordSIMS-Vegacenter projects led by academic users must be published in accordance with VR’s policy on open access. Current open access policy requires that publications are made available on a publicly accessible web site, either via journal open access or parallel publishing of final manuscript. I confirm acceptance of these terms.
I consent to the Swedish Museum of Natural History processing the personal information in this application and sharing the contents with members of the NordSIMS-Vegacenter steering committee for the purposes of evaluation (which may include additional external reviewers). I understand that I can view the museum's policy on personal data processing here: www.nrm.se/engelska/in-english/about-us/privacy-policy . I understand that I can withdraw my consent at any time by contacting dataskyddsombud@nrm.se .
