Maintaining contacts
The HE Gateway holds a list of HEP contacts that use each service under the Maintain Contacts tab. If we need to contact someone at your university or college, we use this list to identify the most appropriate person. We’ll also send service updates and news bulletins to this list of contacts. Please take the time to review and update your contact information to ensure it’s up to date.
