Short online videos are explaining how to build a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) or to enhance an existing VRE. VRE4EIC has developed a reference architecture and software components for building VREs. This software developed in the frame of VRE4EIC, called e-VRE, provides a comfortable, homogeneous interface for users by virtualising access to the heterogeneous datasets, software services and resources of the e-RIs, and provides collaboration/communication facilities for users to improve research communication. It also has the capability of Guest Editorial bridging across existing e-RIs (e-Research Infrastructures). With a series of tutorial videos, scientists and engineers can by Jos Baeten now learn how to build a VRE or enhance the functionalities of an existing VRE.

Apart from this, each individual should be able to control his/her data, and should have the right to be informed, the right to inspect and correct.
