The Pilot• Aim:
In general Tests for a fully developed solution Proof of concept
In fact Connections between all three partners UK data in Germany and France German data in UK and France French data in UK and Germany

Proposal for a European Remote Access Network (Eu-RAN)
• Based on the findings of the two surveys (RA solutions and researcher needs).
• WP4 deliverable 4.2: “Feasibility study on the organisational architecture for managing pan European access”.
• A first concept to get the general idea. No detailed descripton.• Concept should be intensively discussed with experts from
different areas (e.g. during this workshop).

Virtual Research Environment (VRE)• Main aims of the VRE:
1. Provide a workspace that is close to the private one2. Enable communication for projects with partners in
different locations3. Enable communication with other researchers4. Enable exchange of knowledge (e.g. program code)5. Provide an environment where researchers can life

Microdata Computation Centre (MiCoCe)• Main aims of MiCoCe:
Storage space and computation power for microdataTrustable and secure environment
• Three key functionalities of MiCoCe:1. Storage and computation facility for new data providers
(long-term solution)2. Storage and computation facility for project duration
(medium-term solution)3. Only computation facility for “computation on the fly”
(short-term solution)

Conclusion• The Eu-RAN can harmonize and ease access to confidential
microdata in Europe.• The VRE supports transnational research projects and
communication within the scientific community• The MiCoCe offers a central infrastructure for new data
providers and supports research with data from different sources
• All together a future proofed infrastructure for European research could be established.

Outlook• Feasibility study will be available soon at
www.dwbproject.org.• An updated version will provide requirements to discuss and
solve technical and organisational issues.• The pilot within DwB will deliver a limited network solution.• DwB provides a intensively discussed concept and useful
requirement analysis for an improvement of access to European microdata.
• In the next step partners to build a fully developed European Remote Access Network with all components are needed.
