Exploring available Virtual Research Environments (VREs) is a feature any Infrastructure Gateway provide. It is possible to explore the available VREs both when the user is, or is not, logged into the gateway. The difference between the 2 modes is that if the user il logged into the gateway then she can see the VREs where she belongs.

Apart from that, VREs are organised by categories, each Category has a Description. For Each VRE it is possible to know for that description by clicking on it, e.g. https://services.d4science.org/explore
