## Arrival/breaks/lunch/logistics **Responsibility**: SL/DSP ### Notes ### Tasks ## Introduction/wrap up **Responsibility**: HS ### Notes ### Tasks - [ ] Decide content for intro - [ ] Decide content for wrap up - [ ] Create slides ## Keynote **Responsibility**: MA/HS ### Notes - Key note is 45 minutes long (10:30 - 11:15) - We should aim for a good mix of talk and questions - The focus of the talk should be on the future of TREs, NOT an overview of HDR UK or DARE etc. ### Tasks - [ ] HS - Touch base with EJ to make sure she is happy with ask for keynote - This should also be done with an ask to reach out to specific people ## Lightning Talks **Responsibility**: BS/SL ### Notes - Lightning talks have 1hr15min slot (11.30 - 12.45), in theory 15 slots (probably more like 10 though) - 19 proposals as of 11.08.23 - Suggest 5min talk, and force everyone to use a **two slides only!** (be v strict 5min timing) - Could we run a parallel session in the additional breakout room we have? | Presenter | Institution | Topic | DARE driver? | Notes | | --------- | ----------- | ----- | ------------- | ----- | | Rob Baxter | DARE UK | The current state of the DARE UK TRE federation architecture | No | | Fatemeh Torabi | Swansea | Multi-TRE analysis: challenges, governance requirements, federation | No | | Emma Squires | Swansea | Supporting neuroimaging research within a Trusted Research Environment | No | | Martin O'Reilly | Turing | The Safe Data Access Professionals (SDAP) network | No | Helen Cadwaller also proposed a lightning talk on SDAP | | Katherine O'Sullivan | Aberdeen | "The value of federated TREs: The Scottish Safe Haven Network | No | | Alexander Roberts | Swansea | Implementing a TRE at Swansea - challenges and thoughts | No | | Chris Appleton | AIMES | The use of Trusted Research Environments and different use cases, challenges and solutions to data ingest, storage and analysis | No | Industry | | Chris Cole | Dundee | The DARE Driver Project on Standardised Architecture for Trusted Research Environments (SATRE) | Yes | | Carole Goble | Manchester | The TRE-FX DARE sprint project on using ROCrates and workflows for federated analytics across TREs | Yes | | Oriol Canela-Xandri | Edinburgh | Demonstrate, within 5 min a current working prototype for truly federated data where a researcher can run, in real time, analysis on huge datasets (e.g. UKBiobank or larger) but without exposing the data at all to the researcher. Each dataset is kept in premises or a cloud provider, but the researcher can easily query each of them and combine the results. The platform does not require the researcher to have technical skills | No | | Peter Macallum | Elixir | A European Network for Trusted Research Environments | No | International | | Susan Krueger | Dundee | The research question of: how to apply disclosure controls to trained machine learning models. What controls can be applied within a TRE to facilitate easier 'output checking' when a researcher asks for their trained model to be taken out of the controlled environment | No | |Seb Bacon | Bennett Institute | Can I decide later?! | No | | Jonathan Tedds | Elixir | ELIXIR Identity and Access Management and Life Science Login | No | Another Elixir, choose one?

General points: * Topics should be TRE-related! * Topics should lean towards the technical(?). ## Topic ideas * Federating TREs: * Creating a federation of cross-discipline TREs and data providers - current technology pros, cons, gaps? * Multi-TRE analysis: challenges, governance requirements, federation. * Governance around advanced analysis i.e. AI/ML, Data federation, Safe output methods * Federation solutions, TRE architecture, TRE operating models, data and infrastructure integration * Current state of the art re data linkage/federation/AI&ML&LLM across infrastructures which do not allow (large scale) data to move * Access and rights metadata to support process choreography and interoperability (e.g. generic researcher applications and authorization). * Addressing data harmonisation between different datasets: do TREs have a role? * The role of TRE standards for the TRE community. * Safety and security of Python and R package import into TREs. * Community-based efforts and collaborations in public involvement and engagement. * The role of independent TRE providers in relation to the NHS national and regional SDEs. * TRE sustainability and operations. * Cloud vs on-prem TREs #### Lightning talks #### Breakout discussions - Identifying models for federation of data analysis across TREs - Possible output: - Do TREs have a role in data harmonisation? - Possible output: - Safety and security of external package repositories (e.g. Python/R) - Possible output: - Funding requirements for TRE provision - What is the role of regulation, standards and accreditation for the TRE community :::
