As per WMUK's 2014 Activity Plan/University and Education Outreach:
We will run a one-day EduWiki Conference 2014 raising awareness of the educational possibilities of Wikipedia and sister projects, and developing Wikimedia UK's academic engagement. In light of the fact that Wikimania 2014 may be attracting potential delegates away from the EduWiki conference, this year's event will take the form of a symposium bringing together all those in the Education sector who have benefited directly from WMUK support over the years.

Themes and focus
The following three theme/s have been identified as possible ideas to develop for EduWiki 2014:
- A showcase of WMUK-supported Education activities from the past 2+ years;
- A workshop (or two) for educators who want to explore the use of Wikipedia in the University classroom through the courses extension (including a possible hackathon on the WP Education extension);
- An opportunity for Wikimedia's Education leaders to follow-up on previous discussions at Wikimania around the new Wiki Education Cooperative (currently in formation).
Ideas for other themes are also welcome at this point. Please leave your comment on the talk page.
Latest developments
- Preparations for the event have began.
- EduWiki event date: Friday 31 October 2014 in Edinburgh
- EduWiki event venue: Edinburgh First's St Leonard Hall (University of Edinburgh)
- For a discussion on other venues considered please see the EduWiki planning page.
