Launched in 2015, VRE4EIC is now releasing its first results, such as the e-VRE (standing for an enhanced Virtual Research Environment) Reference Architecture (available from www.vre4eic.eu) and initial component software building blocks for the e-VRE.
In Rome, VRE4EIC strengthened its links with the EPOS and ENVRIplus projects, that are implementing interoperable research infrastructures.

ERCIM is leading a new EC research investment of 4,37m€ (the VRE4EIC project) to enhance Virtual Research Environments (VRE) aimed at (4) Empowering multi-disciplinary research communities and accelerate Innovation and Collaboration (EIC).
Together with ERCIM, 7 European organisations are joining forces: European research teams (CWI, TU Delft, CNR, FORTH) together with international organisations (EuroCRIS and W3C) and active e-Research infrastructures (ENVRIplus, represented by University of Amsterdam and EPOS, represented by INGV). Their objective is to build a VRE reference architecture and building blocks of an enhanced VRE (so-called e-VRE, the software outcome of the project).
