Representatives from the UK and European cultural sector will come together with representatives from the Wikimedia community for a two-way dialogue to determine how to use the two communities' strengths to a mutual advantage.
- why and how cultural institutions could work with Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia; and
- what Wikimedia needs to do to make collaboration easier and more effective.
This event is relevant to representatives of the licensing, web, sales, and education departments in cultural institutions.
