About the Conference Series

This gathering for gateway creators and enthusiasts typically features hands-on tutorials, demos, keynotes, presentations, panels, posters, and plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues. In 2020, we moved the conference online, which is where we remained for 2021. With the success of our online meetings, we've decided to offer two versions of the conference in 2022: one "mini" version online in the spring, and a "full" in-person version in the fall. 

We invite you to join us! Gateway developers and users—regardless of their domain area—have a lot in common but have had few venues for exchanging experiences. The Gateways annual conference is an opportunity for gateway creators and enthusiasts to learn, share, connect, and shape the future of gateways as part of a vibrant community with common interests.

Science gateways allow academic research or education communities to access shared data, software, computing services, instruments, educational materials, and other resources specific to their disciplines. They are typically a web portal or a suite of desktop applications.

Conduct

The Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) organizes a variety of opportunities, both online and in-person, that enable our community to come together for learning, exchange, professional development, and networking. All participants in the Gateways conference are required to agree with the following Code of Conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

Sexual, racist, or other identity-based offensive language and imagery are not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, social events, chat, Twitter, and other online media. 

Conference participants violating these rules will be sanctioned or expelled from the conference at the discretion of the conference organizers. If you see or experience inappropriate treatment at any of our events, please email us at help@sciencegateways.org.
