UT researcher? Receive a starting budget for VRE!

Are you an UT researcher and are you looking for flexible, efficient and scalable computing infrastructure to perform simulations / calculations? Do you want to use a starting budget? Then use the Virtual Research Environment (VRE). The first 20 applications will receive a budget of 500 euros.

Virtual Research Environment (VRE)

Cloud service providers are racing to add more features to their platforms, which become more and more extensive, but complex at the same time. Especially if you are a new user, it is really challenging to set up your computing environment and some support is required at the beginning.

Virtual Research Environment (VRE)

Provides an easy-to-use interface that makes it easier to acquire, set up, and manage digital workspaces for research in the Microsoft Azure. The service is based on virtual machines, which can be scaled up and down according to needs. Each machine also features ready-to-use software (e.g. Matlab, SPSS, Python, R). Watch the video below for more information about VRE. 

Sign up for the start-up budget as soon as possible

Briefly describe your research project and why you want to use the VRE and sent this to feedbackvre@utwente.nl. We provide a starting budget for the first 20 applications. This budget is still usable in 2022 and can be carried into 2023. Sign up for the start-up budget as soon as possible!

Feedback & More information

Normally the service is designed according to the UT budget workflow and you only need an Subproject number to start using it. We would like to know what you think of our portal and what needs to be changed in future releases.

Check the VRE portal for more information and documentation.
