Designed at the University, a SafePod replicates a traditional ‘safe setting’ with access control, CCTV and secure storage for IT equipment. No datasets are held within a SafePod. Instead a secure connection is provided to a Data Centre holding project datasets, giving a researcher local remote access to project datasets, without the need to travel to a dedicated safe setting provided by a Data Centre. https://esrc.ukri.org/funding/funding- opportunities/the-safepod-network-call- for-safepod-applications/ EDITOR’S CHOICE AWARD AOC : U32U1 4K Monitor 9
