EOSC-ENTRUST: A European Network of TRUSTed research environments

EOSC-ENTRUST的使命是为敏感数据创建一个可信的欧洲研究环境网络，并通过联合开发联邦数据访问和分析的共同蓝图来推动欧洲的互操作性。各国和各机构在安全和可信的数据环境方面进行了大量投资，以满足对敏感数据集进行研究和政策驱动分析的需要，这些敏感数据集包括人们的健康和社会经济状况、脆弱物种栖息地和受保护地点的地理空间位置。现在有大量这样的安全环境在运行——它们与国家中心、个人组织或特定的研究团体相关联。这种碎片化的格局给用户和提供者都带来了挑战：研究人员面临着大量不同的系统和访问程序；提供者需要跨多个可能不兼容的技术和治理框架管理联合访问。EOSC-ENTRUST将来自15个欧洲国家的运营可信研究环境供应商聚集在一起，共同的目标是通过使用共同标准和共同法律、操作和技术语言的共同欧洲框架来实施、验证和促进他们的能力。这个互操作性的蓝图被固定在EOSC互操作性框架中，该框架跨越了法律、组织、技术和语义互操作性四个维度。EOSC-ENTRUST已经确定了四个驱动项目，涵盖基因组学、临床试验、社会科学和公私合作伙伴关系，以基准能力，为蓝图设计提供信息，并使用联合工作流演示安全数据分析。有针对性的外展活动将与更多的提供者一起扩大这一开放网络，并为所有利益相关者制定政策文件和指导方针，以便在欧洲开放科学云内创建一个长期可操作的TRE框架。

The mission of EOSC-ENTRUST is to create a European network of trusted research environments for sensitive data and to drive European interoperability by joint development of a common blueprint for federated data access and analysis. Countries and institutions have made significant investments in secure and trusted data environments to meet the need for research and policy-driven analysis of sensitive datasets such as people's health and socio-economic status, the habitats of vulnerable species and geo-spatial locations of protected sites. There are now a large number of such secure environments in operation - linked to national centres, individual organisations or specific research communities. This fragmented landscape poses challenges for both users and providers: researchers are faced with a large number of different systems and access procedures; providers need to manage federated access across multiple, potentially incompatible, technology and governance frameworks. EOSC-ENTRUST brings together providers of operational Trusted Research Environments from 15 European countries with a shared goal to implement, validate and promote their capabilities through a common European framework using shared standards and common legal, operational and technical language. This blueprint for interoperability is anchored in the EOSC Interoperability Framework spanning the four dimensions of Legal, Organisational, Technical and Semantic interoperability. EOSC-ENTRUST has identified four driver projects covering Genomics, Clinical trials, Social science, and public-private partnerships to benchmark capabilities, inform blueprint design and demonstrate secure data analysis using federated workflows. Targeted outreach activities will expand this open network with further providers and develop policy papers and guidelines for the full range of stakeholders to create a long-term operational TRE framework within the European Open Science Cloud.
