Unlocking research potential: How the University of Sheffield and RONIN accelerate secure research through Data Connect

This blog explores how the University of Sheffield uses AWS Partner RONIN Core and RONIN Isolate solutions to deliver a Trusted Research Environment (TRE) built on AWS infrastructure, enabling secure research and collaboration with sensitive data through the university’s Data Connect service.
