D4Science provides virtual research environments (VREs) as a service to support multidisciplinary research. VREs are web-based working environments that provide access to tailored computational services and resources. D4Science manages over 50 heterogeneous data providers and offers a range of services to support the entire data management lifecycle from storage and analytics to sharing results. Researchers can use D4Science VREs to collaborate, process and analyze data, and publish research objects for dissemination and reuse.

Editor's Notes
- http://libguides.usc.edu/writingguide/introduction/researchproblem
- Un punto chiave in questo contesto sono le policy – certi utenti possono usare certe risorse (dati & computazionali) – certe applicazioni possono essre attivate solo su certi dati
- Data and processes can be hosted elsewhere – this is only what the user perceive
- Trusted access to services & systems!!!! Resuse of shared data Across discilinary, socia and geographic borders Federated env across member states Solution for managing policies
