Virtual Research Environment
The virtual research environment provides online data analysis workspaces for
research projects and academic courses. Its goal is to facilitate education and
experimentation that require programming and complex data analysis. In addition, it
will satisfy the increasing computational needs of researchers which are currently
limited by what their personal machine can offer.​

A managed environment solves the problem of having researchers set up their

Challenge
In many larger research collaborations there is an unmet need
for research engineers that can build custom software, arrange
deployments of dedicated tools and instruments for data
collection and build and customize databases and the population
thereof. At the HU there is a support team that has experience in
supporting individual researchers and smaller projects. How
would we do this at scale? What can we think of together to
solve/meet this unmet demand?
