Open science, open government and open data: creating an impact through open online education and Virtual Research Environments

Multidisciplinary Collaboration Through Online Virtual Research Environments (VREs): What do VRE users need?

Making new data combinations and collaborating with researchers from different disciplines are becoming essential ingredients of scientific research. These activities are increasingly contributing to solutions for multidisciplinary global problems, such as climate change and energy transition. Virtual Research Environments (VREs) can potentially...

How to improve policy making using open data in Virtual Research Environments? An interactive workshop discussing privacy, security and trust strategies

Governments and publicly-funded research institutions increasingly open up data collected and created through research. One way to share and use data obtained through research is through Virtual Research Environments (VREs). Insights obtained through open data use in VREs can subsequently provide input for policy making. However, this process...

Using Open Research Data for Public Policy Making: Opportunities of Virtual Research Environments

Governments and publicly-funded research organisations increasingly make research data available openly. Researchers can use this data in Virtual Research Environments (VREs) to conduct multidisciplinary data-driven research and to obtain new insights potentially for governmental policy-making. However, the requirements for such a VRE are not...
