SGX3: Novel Concepts to Enhance Knowledge and Extend the Community Around Science Gateways

SGX3 is an NSF-funded Center of Excellence for

Science Gateways complementing the mission of the Science

Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) to serve the community

of users, developers and providers of science gateways. The

experiences and lessons learned via the over six years of SGCI

has informed, which novel areas SGX3 offers, which areas are

enhanced, which areas are continued in SGCI via communityfunded

opportunities and which areas are taken out. While SGCI

has been successful in growing the community, there is still

a lower uptake in different research domains such as social

sciences. Computational sciences and engineering present the

domains that are mostly covered by members. SGX3 focuses

especially on growing the community for different sciences and

research domains and growing a diverse workforce. This paper

compares the SGX3 and SGCI offerings and goes into detail for

the novel services of SGX3 and the expected impact.
