Secure research collaboration
SeRP
Collaborative Spaces
A secure, shared research workspace within an established TRE or SeRP Hub, where distributed teams can collaborate on sensitive data without moving it between organisations.
Bring Collaborators Together
Provide secure access to approved researchers, partners, and external collaborators from multiple organisations within a single project environment.
Accelerate Research
Give teams immediate access to the datasets, analytical tools, and computing resources they need, enabling faster collaboration and analysis.
Keep Data Secure
Data remains within the Trusted Research Environment throughout the project lifecycle, reducing risk and supporting governance requirements.
Simplify Data Management
Maintain a clear data management plan with centralised governance, access controls, audit trails, and project oversight.
Support Data Reuse
At project completion, datasets and outputs can be curated and deposited into the host TRE for future discovery and reuse.
