With the successful completion of the first stage of the DARE UK programme, Director Hans-Erik Aronson has announced his intention to move on.

An enlightening 1.5-hour online public webinar to unveil the groundbreaking outputs from the five Driver Projects. Whether you are a member of the public curious about the future of sensitive data research in the UK or a data enthusiast or researcher, this webinar is for you.

DARE UK is inviting interdisciplinary researchers, policymakers, and the public to participate in a Scientific Use-case Workshop in London. The workshop aims to define research potential and challenges through data and infrastructure connectivity, advancing DARE UK’s vision for a trusted national sensitive data research infrastructure.

The final issue of our Driver Projects blog series outlines the efforts of the SARA project in enhancing data privacy risk assessment within trusted research environments. Read the blog to learn more about the project’s outputs and accomplishments and public involvement and engagement endeavours.

The fourth instalment of our Driver Projects blog series puts the spotlight on the TRE-FX project, whose remit was to explore ways to enable collaborative data analytics across trusted research environments in the UK. Learn more about the project’s accomplishments and dynamic public involvement and engagement strategy.

The third issue of our Driver Projects blog series focuses on the TELEPORT project, whose exploits introduced the concept of federated data access – a first among UK trusted research environments. This approach, developed in collaboration with the public, unlocks new opportunities for deeper, broader and more secure research with sensitive data.

The second issue of our Driver Projects blog series showcases the SATRE Project’s efforts to streamline the standards for setting up and managing trusted research environments to enable cross-functional efficiency. Find out how the project achieved this through consultations with the public and the wider research community.

In the first issue of our DARE UK Driver Projects blog series, we discuss the exploits of the SACRO project in ensuring that research findings do not compromise individual privacy. Find out more about the project’s final outputs and their collaboration with members of the public in this piece.

The outputs from five DARE UK Driver Projects lay some of the foundations for a pioneering UK-wide network of TREs that will shape the future of sensitive data research in the UK. The detailed project reports are now available on our website, and a blog series will follow in the coming days, providing further insights into the outputs from each of the Driver Projects.

Conducted between November 2022 and June 2023, our latest review spotlights significant trends, such as a growing landscape, the crucial role of interoperability and standards, the centrality of trustworthiness, and the potential for the UK to spearhead interdisciplinary research with sensitive data.
