On request to provide some support for affiliates who do not have a pre-existing travel budget for such events: we have now created a grant request for support for up to 10 representatives of non-APG/SimpleAPG Affiliates, from the European region, who are already involved in GLAMwiki activities.

Dear GLAMwiki community,

This is a quick 'for your information' announcement, on behalf of Europeana, to say that a 2017 sequel to the 2015 European GLAMwiki Coordinators meeting[1] is now confirmed. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_European_GLAMwiki_Coordinators_meeting

This two-day meeting will be hosted at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris on 16 & 17 February (with a third day for practical training workshops hosted by WM-France). The goal is to share skills and best practices, coordinate projects, and consolidate connections between parts of our movement involved in GLAM outreach.

As this a functionaries meeting, not an outreach conference, attendance numbers are limited to those who have responsibility for coordinating GLAM activities at a European Wikimedia affiliate organisation - staff, board or designated volunteer. Nevertheless, as with 2015, both the advance-planning and post-event documentation will be published on Meta as best as we can make it.

If your Wikimedia affiliate has a GLAM coordinator and would like to attend, please get in contact with any of us off list.

Sincerely,
Liam Wyatt (Europeana), John Cummings (WiR - UNESCO), & Rémy Gerbet (WM-France)
