Virtual Research Environments
A Virtual Research Environment (VRE) is an online platform that provides researchers with the tools, resources, and collaboration space needed to conduct their work more effectively. Think of it as a digital workspace where scientists, scholars, or teams can share data, analyze information, run simulations, and communicate seamlessly, regardless of where they are located. VREs enhance research efficiency by integrating various resources into a single accessible environment, fostering collaboration and enabling complex projects to be managed more easily without the constraints of physical or institutional boundaries.
