Yes. Pure's Community Module is designed specifically for multi-institutional use, enabling research consortia, national bodies and university networks to share and aggregate research data across a federated group of Pure installations. Member institutions retain full control of their own data while contributing to a shared, network-level view. This enables cross-institutional reporting, collaborative research discovery and portfolio-level analytics — capabilities increasingly important for national research systems and regional partnerships. For institutions, this also enables a shared public-facing research presence — allowing consortia to showcase collaborative projects, cross-institutional expertise, and joint impact to funders, industry partners, and the wider research community.
