Dear researchers, We thought of informing you about this small research we implementing about an intensive course for PhD students about Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects implemented since 2016 for eight editions. It is a research to document this experience implemented by the Politecnico di Milano but it is also a relevant format to involve researchers and the academia in the Wikimedia projects (and we want to test its scalability). We are starting a series of interviews. Please find more information about the project below. my very best regards iolanda

Dear all, I would like to invite you to a conversation we are going to have on Friday, December 13 from 7 pm to 8:30 pm CET about the beautiful Wikipedia intensive course dedicated to PhD students and created by the Politecnico di Milano in 2016 and replicated for eight editions. The discussion will be in English with the course instructors Andy Mabbett, Niccolò Caranti and Marco Chemello, with the goal of better understanding this unique experience and making this course replicable by many other universities internationally. We aim to document this experience, develop an online course on WikiLearn and test it at SUPSI Mendrisio Switzerland 24-28 February 2025 with 5 PhD students.
Best regards iolanda
