Wikipedia & Education enthusiasts,
The Wikipedia & Education User Group and our hosts Wikimedia Serbia are thrilled to announce applications are open to attend EduWiki Conference 2023 (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EduWiki_Conference_2023), the conference for those working in the Education space of Wikimedia. Applications will be accepted until January 29, *2023*. The conference will be held in Belgrade, Serbia, on May 26-28, 2023.
This conference is a platform for shared experience from working in the Education space of Wikimedia. The conference welcomes education leaders in Wikimedia and mission aligned organizations. The program will be built collaboratively under the coordination of the Program Committee.
Before you rush off to apply, please carefully read these important details!
In order to facilitate meaningful participation from a diverse set of Wikimedia and education leaders worldwide, all interested prospective attendees will be required to apply for a spot for attendance. There is no later opportunity to register; if you want to attend EduWiki 2023, you must apply by January 29.
We are offering a limited number of full and partial scholarships, thanks to funding from the Wikimedia Foundation. Scholarships are available to ensure participant diversity and enable us to have those most connected to Wikipedia and education work attend. Applications for attendance will also be assessed by the Scholarship Committee.
We expect significant interest in this conference. This means we encourage you to spend time carefully reviewing your answers to the application questions before submitting.
This is a large application form and to avoid losing your answers we recommend that you write down the responses in a word editor and copy them to the application form once you’re ready to submit. For your convenience you can find all the questions here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EduWiki_Conference_2023/Application_text (but remember, put your answers into the form, not on Meta).
To apply, fill out this form (https://forms.gle/q3xNxNpLt3HRbmgy6) prior to end of day on Sunday, January 29, 2023, AoE (see in your time zone: https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1675080032). As noted, we expect significant interest, so we do not expect to extend this deadline. Late applications will not be accepted.
