Hi all,
As part of an ongoing The Future of Meetings (TFOM) x Science For the
Public Good (S4PG) event series, we're hosting a Wikimedia-focused event
on the 29th November, featuring Cristian Consonni, Amanda Jurno, and
Daniel Mietchen.
The TFOM x S4PG series of free events aims to initiate discussions about
what Science for the Public Good may look like and how it can be
achieved, and to showcase how mixed reality approaches can improve how
we interact and share our research. We've already had some fantastic
discussions around citizen science, and diversity and inclusion, and our
next event is fast approaching.
This next event will happen on 29th November 2022 at 13:00 UTC (00:00
AEDT), and it will be focused on Open Data, Wikimedia and Science for
the Public Good. We'll be hearing from experts in this space on creating
positive outcomes for the public good through dissemination of and
access to scientific data and knowledge, including as open tools for
education.
The event will take place in Altspace, and you can participate in the
event with a VR headset or through a computer via the Altspace
application. You can also watch it on a livestream, and ask questions
via Slack.
Accessibility grants are also available for, e.g., care arrangements
during the event, internet connectivity, or to subsidise the cost of
buying a VR headset. For more information, please see
