# Breakout sessions

We are planning several breakout sessions on topics suggested by attendees, with topics chosen by attendees on the day.
We are planning several breakout sessions on topics suggested by attendees, with topics chosen by attendees on the day via poll.

## Suggested topics

Some topic suggestions have already been submitted:

- Federation of cross-discipline TREs - current technology pros, cons, gaps? Break Multi-TRE analysis: challenges, governance requirements, federation.
- Current state of the art re data linkage/federation/AI&ML&LLM across infrastructures which do not allow (large scale) data to move Governance around advanced analysis i.e. AI/ML, Data federation, Safe output methods
- TRE sustainability and operations. TRE operating models & federation
- Safety and security of Python and R package import into TREs. Domain-specific vs general-purpose TREs?
- Community-based efforts and collaborations in public involvement and engagement. The role of TRE standards for the TRE community.
- The role of independent TRE providers in relation to the NHS national and regional SDEs. Cloud vs on-prem TREs: costs, constraints, pros & cons
- Sight unseen: how far can we go with keeping data hidden from users? Addressing data harmonisation between different datasets: do TREs have a role?
- Access and rights metadata to support process choreography and interoperability (e.g. generic researcher applications and authorization). International challenges and lessons on federating data access

We will attempt to cover as many topics as possible, and attendees can choose which breakout session to go to.
Popular topics will be covered in both sessions, giving participants the options of going much more in-depth.

At the end of this session we would like each group to summarise their next steps in 2 minutes: what they want to achieve, what resources they require, and how they will go about it.
The aim of these breakouts is to discuss the topic area, and explore how the community could take work forwards from the discussion.

### Background

The UK TRE community is thrilled to announce what is hoped to be the UK's largest in-person meeting on Trusted Research Environments (TREs) to be held in Swansea on Monday 4th September 2023. The day will bring together stakeholders from all sectors and disciplines to discuss the current state of TREs, look at existing barriers, and define the future provision of TREs in the UK.

The UK TRE Community is a community that has grown organically over the last year for anyone interested in TREs, including researchers, operators, information governors and managers and more, from all sectors and disciplines. The core aims of fostering collaboration and sharing of innovative ideas to support the delivery of groundbreaking research with sensitive data have resonated across the UK and beyond.

Unfortunately there isn't time for everyone to present in a single session, so to ensure everyone gets chance to present we will randomly split the talks and the audience into two rooms to ensure as much mixing of ideas as possible.
All talks will be recorded and made available online after the event, along with contact details for the speakers.

All talks will be a maximum of **5 minutes long**, with a focus on sharing knowledge and discovering opportunities for collaboration
