📢 We're pleased to announce a new portfolio of eight #DAREUKResearchExemplars awarded £3.5m by @UKRI_News.
These research projects will show how emerging Trusted Research Environment (TRE) capabilities assembled as part of DARE UK (Phase 2) can enable real-world research using sensitive data.
From federated analysis to secure AI-supported disclosure control and high-performance computing, they’ll test what’s possible across sectors and UK TREs.
