As part of a working relationship between Wikimedia UK and the Institute of Physics, a Wikipedia workshop will be run for IoP members, based on the Cancer Research UK Workshop run earlier in the year. This will aim for a dozen attendees and four or five Wikimedia volunteers. The workshop will take place in the Guthrie room at the IoP premises in central London on Thursday 1 September 2011. This was a small-scale event to try out the idea of a science-themed Wikipedia workshop in future.
The contact for this event in IoP is Lena Weber. The contact in Wikimedia UK is Martin Poulter, martin.poulter@wikimedia.org.uk .
Attendees will be asked to register an account.
The workshop is a day before the Science Online London 2011 conference at the British Library, which will "explore the ways in which the Web has transformed scientific research and communication". The conference will include a session on "How are wikis being used to carry out and communicate science?" led by Henry Scowcroft of Cancer Research UK and Mike Peel of Wikimedia UK.
