N2 - The astronomical space mission Gaia was launched in December 2013 by ESA. Gaia is expected to revolutionize astronomy, in terms of the amount and precision of data it will provide pertaining to the whole universe, in all fields of astronomy. This paper introduces GATE - a project aiming to detect transiting extrasolar planets based on Gaia data. GATE is unique in the way it will bring together space-based data and ground-based observations by professional as well as amateur astronomers. We believe that the GATE'S novel approach can be applied for other planet-search space missions as well as ground-based surveys.
