The Science Gateways Community Institute's Incubator team is offering an intensive workshop that will take place April 24-28, 2017 at the Purdue Research Park of Indianapolis, IN.

Science Gateways Bootcamp: Strategies for Developing, Operating, and Sustaining Your Gateway is designed for leaders of innovative digital offerings, sometimes called gateways, who are seeking to further develop and scale their work.

Participants will engage in hands-on activities to help them articulate the value of their work to key stakeholders and to create a strong development, operations, and sustainability plan. The workshop will include:

• Core business strategy skills 
• Technology best practices
• Long-term sustainability strategies

By the end of the workshop, participants will have developed a working hypothesis of their sustainability strategy and identified the key action steps to get there. 

For this session, we will be selecting 6-10 teams to participate, based on their potential to deliver significant value to the community. We expect that this session will fill quickly. There is no cost to participate in the workshop and most meals will be included. Attendees will need to pay for travel, hotel, and a couple of meals. 

APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH 2/22/2017
