The Evolving VRE Definition
To provide an architecture of tools and resources to allow research communities to create multidisciplinary environments which enhance inter-disciplinary research, and to facilitate collaboration within and between institutions.
A VRE can be defined as a set of online tools and other network resources and technologies interoperating with each other to support or enhance the processes of a wide range of research practitioners within and across disciplinary and institutional boundaries. VREs go beyond providing researchers with easy access to data, applications and computational resources; instead they facilitate mobile and distributed researchers, research teams and communities in conducting activities, such as shared problem-solving and shared experimentation. A key characteristic of a VRE, therefore, is that it facilitates collaboration amongst researchers and research teams providing them with more effective means of collaboratively collecting, manipulating and managing data, as well as collaborative knowledge creation.

Latest VRE Definition
Joint Information Systems Committee
“A Virtual Research Environment can be considered as short hand for the tools and technologies that a researcher needs to use access the resources and people they need to do their research, and both the technical and social context for those tools”
