About the event
After Doug Taylor's presentation during AMRC workshop on 30 October 2012, one of the participants (from Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research) approached us with an interest in Wikipedia training. The staff most interested in participating in this training is the research scientists from the organisation.
Topics for the workshop
Trainees will be encouraged to think about what cancer-related articles they would want to look at. The trainers would be advised to prepare some example articles beforehand too.

Indication of the expected programme - trainers are encouraged to put the detail in. The expectation is to provide an introduction to editing (most people would not know how to edit) and have a chance to do small amount of editing.
