Introduction / Outline

Modern research in the Social Sciences needs active support by underlying infrastructures

The development line goes from Research Environments to Virtual Research Environments (VRE) to secure Virtual Research Environments (secureVRE)

Success of such initiatives is based on networks of experts and institutions

More collaboration is needed

Conclusion and Outlook

Future needs in Social Science research can be meet by modern infrastructures

Need to develop them as networks Era of silos needs to be brought to an end More network activities needed General openness for other approaches Longterm funding strategies are needed secureVRE the RDC for the future of Research
