Exploring Innovative new areas
VRE definition
22/06/2011 | Slide 5
A VRE comprises a set of online tools and other network resources and technologies interoperating with each other to facilitate or enhance the processes of research practitioners within and across institutional boundaries.
A key characteristic of a VRE is that it facilitates collaboration amongst researchers and research teams providing them with more effective means of collaboratively collecting, manipulating and managing data, as well as collaborative knowledge creation.
VRE Phase 3
The intention of this programme is not to produce a complete VRE, but rather to define and help to develop the frameworks and associated standards and to encourage the development and population of VREs with applications, services and resources appropriate to their needs.
