ResearchTools VRE

What is a VRE?

A VRE (Virtual Research Environment) is a set of online tools to facilitate or enhance the research process. A VRE can aid with collaboration and communication amongst members of a research group, whether they share an office or work on different sides of the world.

ResearchTools at Newcastle University

Each research group can have its own ResearchTools VRE site which can be used by external collaborators as well as members of the University.

University members can login using their usual ISS login ID and password. External users will have to obtain a free user ID from Protect Network.

If you are part of a research group (with significant involvement at Newcastle University) and would like to take part in the ResearchTools pilot, please complete the new site request form.

In order to help us to evaluate the service, your group may be required to provide constructive feedback of your experiences of using ResearchTools.
