EOSC-ENTRUST’s Driver 2: A prototypic use case for federated, multinational use of TREs

The EOSC-ENTRUST project aims to create a ‘European Network of TRUSTed research environments’ for sensitive data and to drive interoperability by developing a common blueprint for federated data access and analysis. Data governance, legislation and management all differ between its international partner institutions. How to reconcile these differences to enable the wider sharing of sensitive data, is at the heart of this project. EOSC-ENTRUST Driver 2 represents one of four use cases, which are prototypic for federated, multinational use of TREs in research practice across scientific domains and user communities. Our presentation will outline Driver 2’s use case, where we are testing and building on a framework established under the SSHOC project for implementing trans-national data sharing agreements, enabling and setting up new remote access connections.
