|
| Wikimedia UK is delighted to announce that The Royal Society is recruiting a Wikimedian in Residence.
| | Registration has opened for our second conference about education projects, [[EduWiki_Conference_2013|EduWiki]]. |
|
| |
|
| This prestigious residency at the UK's national academy of science will last for six months and is supported by the Society with funding from Wikimedia UK.
| | The conference takes place in Cardiff on 1 & 2 November and will be covering a range of broad themes such as Open Educational Resources, the Wikipedia Education Program, assessment and accreditation, and critical thinking, digital literacy & wiki literacy. |
|
| |
|
| The Wikimedian in Residence will work with the Society to improve access to information about scientists from under-represented groups. They will also help to open up the Society’s historical collections and support the improvement of scientific articles on Wikipedia. The residency will also involve organising and running presentations, workshops, training sessions and edit-a-thons with staff, Fellows, scientists and members of the public on using Wikimedia platforms.
| | Tickets for the full conference cost £40 or £20 for a single day. Some scholarships are available. |
|
| |
|
| The resident will work for one day per week for a six-month period based in London and the applications process has begun.

Open knowledge for all

The Wikimedia projects are special: they are written and curated by thousands of volunteers. They are also supported by voluntary donations, through Wikimedia UK, the Wikimedia Foundation and other international chapters.
Wikimedia UK is a charity registered in England and Wales that supports and promotes Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects such as Wikimedia Commons. Our mission is to help people and organisations create and preserve open knowledge, and to help provide easy access for all. We do this by supporting volunteer editors and contributors ('Wikimedians'), by working in partnership with cultural and educational institutions, by hosting training sessions and editing events, and by acting to advocate the benefits of open knowledge generally.
There are several ways to get involved in the charity's work. You can become a member for just £5 per year. You can volunteer to work with us in a variety of ways, both online and offline. You can also make a donation (and if you're a UK taxpayer, we can claim Gift Aid). Subscribe to our Friends' Newsletter to stay in touch. Click the buttons below to learn more.
