The Netherlands contributes significantly to scientific research on a global level. The Center for Information Technology at the University of Groningen supports and facilitates research and education with reliable and innovative IT solutions. As regulations on research data tighten, the requirements for supply, input, processing, sharing, and publication are becoming increasingly strict to safeguard matters such as availability, integrity, and security.
The University of Groningen has developed a groundbreaking virtual research environment consisting of a virtualized (desktop) environment where researchers can conduct data analysis jointly and securely. In this environment, partnerships are possible with researchers from within the organization itself, or from other institutions worldwide. It is a place where researchers have full control over their data and results, and their risks of data leakage are minimized.
You can log in from an existing federated account using multifactor authentication. To ensure that there is no pollution or misuse of data, the internet cannot be accessed directly from the secure work environment. Working in this environment, guarantees that your data remains secure, even if your laptop is lost or stolen.
The federated account allows you to work safely on several studies at once. Each study has its own closed system, making any exchange of data between the studies impossible. The default application landscape is extensive, but specific applications can be incorporated if desired.
It is possible to run various versions of the same application simultaneously. All of the virtual environment's components are scalable in capacity. The integrity of the data and results is carefully monitored within the study.
For this purpose, various roles are available for each study. The University of Groningen Virtual Research Environment is a reliable, innovative, and fast data analysis environment that considerably lightens the burden of work for researchers.
