Proposal for a European Remote Access Network (Eu-RAN) – main components David Schiller and Anja Burghardt (IAB) Ottawa, UNECE/Eurostat work session on statistical data confidentiality, October 29, 2013

Data without Boundaries and work package 4 • European Commission Framework Program 7 founded Data without Boundaries (Dw.

European Remote Access Network (EU-RAN) • Based on a survey about the state of play in Europe (NSI and CESSDA). • Service for existing solutions and future needs. • Bringing together Ø 1 to N researchers from 1 to N countries to Ø 1 to N data sources in 1 to N European countries. • And provide them with the tools to do breathtaking research • Main components: Ø Single Point of Access (SPA), Virtual Research Environments (VRE) and Microdata Computation Centre (Mi. Co. Ce)

Summary • Dw. B deliverable 4. 2 includes a basic architecture or Eu-RAN. • The concept was discussed within the project and with stakeholders from all over Europe. • Feedback was positive. • A limited pilot with CASD, IAB and UKDA tests basic requirements for a network (technical, organisational, and legal topics). • Next steps are under discussion (software demo, workshop for Mi. Co. Ce etc. )
