Science Gateway “A Science Gateway is a community-developed set of tools, applications, and data that is integrated via a portal or a suite of applications, usually in a graphical user interface, that is further customized to meet the needs of a specific community.” Teragrid/XSEDE 3 A joint CHAIN-REDS / eI4Africa Workshop | 13.11.2013 | Kigali, Rwanda VAMP ¡Workshop ¡2013 ¡– ¡Helsinki, ¡30/9-­‑1/10/2013 ¡

Summary and conclusions ■ e-Infrastructures can be very beneficial platforms for many users, provided they are really «easy to use» and users are at their centre ■ The Africa Grid Science Gateway changes the way Grid infrastructures are used, hugely widening their potential user base across continents and organisations, especially non-IT experts and the “citizen scientist” ■ The adoption of standards (JSR 286, SAGA, SAML, etc.) represents a concrete investment towards sustainability ■ Groups and single researchers are welcome to use the Africa Grid Science Gateway, provide feedback and propose new a p p l i c a t i o n s t o b e i n t e g r a t e d ( v i s i t www.ei4africa.eu/ei4africa-survey) 18 A joint CHAIN-REDS / eI4Africa Workshop | 13.11.2013 | Kigali, Rwanda
