Conference: Gateways 2023

科学网关是NSF资助的网络基础设施的关键部分，它们被成千上万的研究人员和学生使用，支持出版质量的科学和大规模教育。科学门户涉及一系列全面的研究领域，对社会产生广泛的影响，解决诸如流行病、气候变化、人口增长、人均收入上升所驱动的粮食、水和土地利用的全球可持续性等重大挑战。认识到它们的重要性，NSF资助了科学网关社区研究所（SGCI），最近又资助了SGX3科学网关卓越中心，为科学网关社区提供领导。网关系列会议是SGCI和SGX3的旗舰会议之一，也是将科学网关社区聚集在一起的美国重大活动。该系列会议自2016年以来一直存在，每年吸引100-170名与会者。今年，会议从SGCI组织的会议转变为社区驱动的会议，总主席首次由新成立的会议顾问委员会选出，该委员会不是SGCI/SGX3团队的成员。目标是吸引更多的研究领域，并利用尚未与SGCI/SGX3接触的主席网络。SGX3将继续指导会议。网关2023具有不同的节目格式，如主题演讲，演讲，教程，演示，海报和今年首次带来你自己的门户。被接受的论文将在开放获取的论文集中发表，被接受的论文将被邀请在期刊的特刊上发表。SGCI/SGX3在科学门户社区中代表性不足的少数群体参与方面有着令人印象深刻的记录。旅行补助可以让更多的学生参与到gateway 2023，他们的选择是在考虑多样性、公平性和包容性的情况下进行的。网关2023是美国科学网关社区讨论该领域的挑战和解决方案，确定新问题，塑造未来研究方向，促进思想，标准和共同要求的交流，并推动科学网关更广泛采用的重大事件。网关会议系列涵盖的主题范围从技术主题到用例，再到相关内容，如科学网关的可用性或可持续性。知识转移在不同的研究领域和技术内容之间具有变革性。科学网关框架的构建块在不同的研究领域是可重用的，这在Hubzero和Tapis等广泛使用的框架中很明显。网关系列会议为社区中不同的利益相关者（科学网关用户、开发人员和提供者以及资助者和决策者）的学习、参与和赋权奠定了基础。为学生提供旅行补助可以包容不同的受众，并支持未被充分代表的少数群体。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Science gateways are a key part of NSF funded Cyberinfrastructure, and they are used by hundreds of thousands of researchers and students, supporting both publication-quality science and at-scale education. Science gateways involve a comprehensive set of research domains that has a broad impact on society, addressing considerable challenges such as pandemics, climate change, global sustainability on food, water, and land use driven by the growing population, rising per capita incomes, to name a few. In recognition of their importance, NSF has funded the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and more recently the SGX3 Science Gateways Center of Excellence to provide leadership for the science gateways community. The Gateways conference series is one of the of flagships of SGCI and SGX3 and the major event in the US to bring the science gateways community together. The conference series has existed since 2016 and has attracted each year between 100-170 participants. This year it has moved from an SGCI-organized conference to a community-driven conference with the first time the general chair being selected by a newly established advisory board for the conference and who is not part of the SGCI/SGX3 team. The goal is to attract additional research domains and tap into the chair's networks that are not already in contact with SGCI/SGX3. SGX3 continues to guide the conference. Gateways 2023 features different program formats such as keynotes, presentations, tutorials, demos, posters and this year the first time Bring Your Own Portal. Accepted submissions are published in open-access proceedings and accepted papers are invited to a special issue in a journal. SGCI/SGX3 has an impressive record of underrepresented minority involvement within the science gateway community. The travel grant allows to involve more students at Gateways 2023 and they are selected under consideration of diversity, equity and inclusion.Gateways 2023 is the major event for the science gateway community in the US to discuss challenges and solutions in the area, to identify new issues, to shape future directions for research, foster the exchange of ideas, standards and common requirements and push towards the wider adoption of science gateways. The topics covered by the Gateways conference series range from technical topics to use cases to related content such as usability or sustainability of science gateways. The knowledge transfer can be transformative between different research domains and technical content. The building blocks of science gateway frameworks are re-usable in diverse research areas evident in widely used frameworks such as Hubzero and Tapis. The Gateways conference series sets the stage for learning, engaging and empowering the different stakeholders in the community who are science gateway users, developers and providers as well as funders and decision makers. Providing travel grants for students allows to include a diverse audience and support underrepresented minorities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
