Virtual Research Environment programme (Phase 3)
Phase 3 concentrates on consolidating the first two phases of the VRE Programme to build a community of support and development spanning both VRE developers and users.
The following projects ran during Phase 3 of the VRE Programme.

VRE phase 3 projects
There are three strands within the VRE3 Programme.
I - Tools
This strand looked for projects to build on previous work and look at the embedding possibilities of collaborative research tools within VRE frameworks and further research on the Generic tools stack.

II - Frameworks
Projects in this strand built on the research tools and interoperability work of VRE phase 1 and 2.

III - Interoperability
Building on the work of Phase 1, projects in this strand researched the interoperability with national and institutional solutions used within the research lifecycle. Resource discovery, repositories, publishing and digital curation play a vital role that is strongly related to VREs. It also includes link-up with institutional systems, which is of great importance for the sustainability of VREs.
