The EOSC-ENTRUST project has published its first policy brief highlighting the importance of European investment in Trusted Research Environments (TREs).
The policy brief identifies five recommendations for policymakers:
- Invest in TRE infrastructure, including hardware, cloud computing, storage, backup systems, software solutions and service staff to enhance national TREs’ security, data storage and analytics capabilities.
- Promote TRE interoperability to create an ecosystem for data linkage. The EOSC-ENTRUST Blueprint is laying the foundation for this interoperable network.
- Build on international standards and best practices, such as the Five Safes research principles and the SATRE standard architecture for TREs.
- Nurture TRE communities by supporting and encouraging collaborations among service providers, data custodians, researchers and the public.
- Build and maintain effective public engagement to establish public trust.
The full policy brief can be accessed on Zenodo.
