SGCI and Globus: Partners for Acceleration of Science
1 like118 views
The document discusses the importance of science gateways in addressing complex research questions and enhancing technology-driven research. It highlights various widely-used frameworks and the need for technology-agnostic approaches while emphasizing community engagement. Partnerships such as SGCI and Globus are crucial for providing solutions that enable broader access to advanced research resources.
