Research Academy applications

When you apply to the QRS Research Academy we collect what you submit: your name, email addresses, university, programme and year of study, availability, the answers on the application form, your résumé, and, if you are invited, your Online Assessment answers and timings and your Research Assessment submission. The Online Assessment also records interactions with the assessment page, such as leaving the page or pasting text, to help us review attempts fairly.

We use this information only to run the selection and to contact you about it. It is seen by the selection committee and is never sold or shared for marketing. We may use AI tools to help read and organise applications; selection decisions are made by the committee. Personal data is deleted once the selection it belongs to has concluded, apart from the records of members who join and of applicants who agree to our keeping their details so that we may contact them about future rounds. Applicants may ask us to delete these at any time.

Google account data

Our internal tools sign in with the Society's own Google account, with read-only access, to fetch application form responses and the résumés uploaded with them. Committee members may also sign in with Google to reach the committee site, which uses only their email address to confirm access. We do not access applicants' Google accounts.

Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. This data is used only for the selection described above and is not transferred to others or used for advertising.

You may ask to see, correct or delete your data, or withdraw an application, at any time by writing to contact@qrsntu.org.
