Conference: Gateways 2023

科学网关是NSF资助的网络基础设施的关键部分，它们被数十万研究人员和学生使用，支持出版质量的科学和大规模教育。科学网关涉及一系列对社会产生广泛影响的研究领域，应对重大挑战，如流行病，气候变化，人口增长驱动的粮食，水和土地使用的全球可持续性，人均收入增加，仅举几例。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SGX 3科学网关卓越中心，为科学网关社区提供领导。网关会议系列是SGCI和SGX 3的旗舰之一，也是美国将科学网关社区聚集在一起的重大活动。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，它从SGCI组织的会议转变为社区驱动的会议，第一次由新成立的会议咨询委员会选出总主席，他不是SGCI/SGX 3团队的一部分。目标是吸引更多的研究领域，并利用尚未与SGCI/SGX 3联系的主席网络。SGX 3继续指导会议。网关2023具有不同的程序格式，如主题演讲，演示，教程，演示，海报和今年首次带来自己的门户网站。被接受的论文发表在开放获取的论文集上，被接受的论文被邀请在期刊的特刊上发表。SGCI/SGX 3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。旅行补助金允许更多的学生参加2023年的科学门户，他们是在考虑多样性，公平性和包容性的情况下选择的。2023年的科学门户是美国科学门户社区的主要活动，讨论该领域的挑战和解决方案，确定新问题，塑造未来的研究方向，促进思想交流，标准和共同要求，并推动更广泛地采用科学网关。网关会议系列涵盖的主题从技术主题到用例，再到相关内容，如科学网关的可用性或可持续性。知识转移可以在不同的研究领域和技术内容之间进行变革。科学网关框架的构建模块可在不同的研究领域中重复使用，这在广泛使用的框架（如Hubzero和Tapis）中很明显。网关会议系列为学习，参与和授权社区中的不同利益相关者奠定了基础，这些利益相关者是科学网关用户，开发人员和提供者以及资助者和决策者。为学生提供旅行赠款金可以包括不同的观众和支持代表性不足的少数民族。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

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.
