NaaVRE (Notebook as a Virtual Research Environment) is a platform that helps researchers turn notebook-based experiments into collaborative, cloud-ready research workflows. The LifeWatch NaaVRE platform is offered as a Platform as a Service, enabling users to create customized Virtual Labs with tailored runtime libraries, user interfaces, and workflow building blocks for specific research domains.

NaaVRE extends the Jupyter experience with tools for sharing notebooks and research assets, converting notebook cells into stable, containerized workflow components, and combining those components into workflows. Users can execute workflows through a workflow engine in a scalable cloud environment, configure inputs and parameters, and schedule runs. Python and Rscript kernels are supported.

The platform brings together data, models, and software in a shared environment, helping teams move from exploratory code to reproducible workflows that can be shared with collaborators and communities. By connecting familiar research tools with cloud infrastructure, NaaVRE aims to simplify workflow development and execution.
