EOSC-ENTRUST D5.1 Policy Brief

EOSC-ENTRUST’s vision is a network of interoperable trusted research environments (TREs) capable of supporting large-scale European research and analysis efforts on sensitive and restricted data. In this second of three briefs we extend the ideas from the first brief, highlighting the federation and governance approaches needed to create a trustworthy research infrastructure on top of our proposed interoperable network of TREs. We introduce four new recommendations: Adopt a federated approach, and plan for a federation-of-federations. Design governance models alongside infrastructure, not afterwards. Invest in accreditation, including both training and assessment, to create trust. Co-locate data and compute infrastructure investments. The second EOSC-ENTRUST Policy Brief has been written and designed as a stand-alone report rather than follow the deliverable template.
