• Helping gateway developers find and choose technology partners in European cyber-infrastructure/e-infrastructure communities
• Providing training, support, and certification about the FitSM and ISO27k standards, helping gateway operators increase the quality, availability, and security of their services
• Organizing annual community events to bring together various stakeholders from the broader e-infrastructure and science gateway areas
• Exchange good practices about bootcamp events and jointly organize such events in the European context for service providers.
