VRE Documentation for UU researchers

Welcome

A Virtual Research Environment (VRE) is a temporary compute environment that enables researchers to work interactively and remotely on research. A VRE contains tools and data that scientists need for their research.

Utrecht University provides VREs based on SURF Research Cloud, which is a good alternative for commercial cloud providers like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.

See here for a list of available workspace types and their documentation.
