December SGCI Webinar
Every gateway has competition: Identifying, differentiating from, and working with competitors
Wednesday, December 12, 2018, at 1 pm Eastern/10 am Pacific.
Presented by Juliana Casavan, Entrepreneurial Programs Manager at the Purdue Foundry and SGCI's Science Gateways Bootcamp Instructor
Every product, service, or project has competitors, but how do you identify them? Do you need to worry about competitors or maybe collaborate with them? This webinar will help you identify your audience, competitors, and differentiators, and also to explore the potential benefits of collaborating with competitors.
Find upcoming descriptions and add the details to your calendar.
Previous webinar descriptions, slides, and video are available in our Webinar Archive.

Apply for funding to promote or learn about a gateway—Open to all researchers & educators!
SGCI is piloting a Science Ambassadors program that will provide travel support for those interested in promoting the use of gateways in research or education or in training others in the use of a gateway. Five ambassadors per year will receive $1200 each in travel support to either:
- Attend a domain conference where they promote the use of gateways for research by presenting results achieved through the use of a gateway.
- Attend a gateway training event to learn how to use a gateway more effectively or learn how to teach others to use a gateway.
- Promote the use of a gateway in education.
Apply by Monday, January 16, 2019.
