Blue-Cloud 2026 - Virtual Research Environment service

Blue­Cloud Virtual Research Environment Service The Blue­Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE) is one of the two main components of the Blue­Cloud technical framework, next to the Blue­Cloud Data Discovery and Access Service (DDAS). The Blue­Cloud VRE components are developed and operated by relying on the D4Science infrastructure [Assante et al., 2019; 2023; Candela et al., 2023] and range from services to promote the collaboration among its users to services supporting the execution of analytics tasks embedded in a distributed computing infrastructure, and to services enabling the co­creation of entire Virtual Laboratories (VLabs), also interoperable with the Blue­Cloud DDAS. The VRE services are instrumental in advancing Open Science practices within VLabs, empowering researchers to harness the advantages of state­of­the­art e­infrastructures. By leveraging these services, researchers can capitalise on the power of the Cloud and of einfrastructures, driving scientific progress and enabling collaborative research efforts within the realm of Open Science.
