Gateway Focus Week (formerly Bootcamp), Sept. 9-13 in Chicago -- Apply Now!

14 Jun 2019

Want to learn gateways, from start to finish?

Gateway Focus Week (formerly Science Gateways Bootcamp) will help you learn how to develop, operate, and sustain a gateway (also known as portals, virtual research environments, hubs, etc.).

Why apply? You’ll...

  • Leave behind day-to-day tasks to tackle big questions that will help your team articulate the value of your work to key stakeholders.

  • Create a strong development, operations, and sustainability plan.

  • Walk away with proven and effective strategies in everything from business and finance to cybersecurity and usability.

  • Network, collaborate, and establish relationships with others doing similar work.

  • Do it all at minimal cost (currently, participants only pay for travel, lodging, and a few meals).

The next Focus Week is September 9-13, 2019, in Chicago, IL. Apply by July 19! https://sciencegateways.org/focus-week

“When you have a lot of irons in the fire, it is difficult to commit a whole week to an intensive retreat like the SGCI Bootcamp [Focus Week]. But the impact of working closely with a team of experts and a room full of peers struggling with similar issues in their own science gateway projects far exceeded my expectations. If you need help reaching your gateway’s potential or are worried about its sustainability, run, don’t walk, to the next offering, and take your whole team with you. My only regret is not having involved more of my staff.”
