Hi everyone,
I see that the Wikimania call for proposals https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Submissions/Guidelines is open, and that the submission deadline is 11 days from now.
Is anyone organizing a research-specific session or series, and is there a way we can support that endeavor?
All the best,
Thanks for kicking this off.
A few things on my end: * In the Research team [1] we have started discussing and coordinating on submissions. This conversation can shape some of the ongoing conversations. * Mako and I talked a while back to organize a series of sessions similar to 2019: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Research/Program . We haven't connected recently though. Your email is a good poke. ;) * Now that we know the format of Wikimania 2021, if I understand correctly the 2019 format won't work. That is: we likely won't have multiple large blocks of time.
Nate: what do you consider as good outcomes out of different Wikimedia sessions the research community can (co-)organize?

Hi Leila,
Glad we were thinking along similar lines!
*>> Nate: what do you consider as good outcomes out of different Wikimediasessions the research community can (co-)organize?*
We have some ideas and would love to hear other people's thoughts. Having received a grant https://citizensandtech.org/2021/02/new-funding-new-hires/ to support research together with Wikipedia communities over the next three years, we have several goals for the next few months, and we're still deciding how well Wikimania is the right place for them:
- Gathering with Wikipedians to *discuss research ideas/agendas* (unclear if the new Wikimania format would work for this) - *Convening researchers* to discuss possible questions and research approaches (maybe?) - Discussing *best practices for community outreach, co-design, and approval/consent* with intervention research (this might be especially valuable) - *Sharing research insights into other parts of Wikimania* (would love to help here, especially since we have a number of new results coming out, but unsure how it would work without tracks in the same way?)
All the best,

If you can work with 45-min one of the Workshop or Discussion forms should accommodate this: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Submissions/Guidelines#Tracks . For this one, my hunch is that you should go ahead and just submit a proposal. The other items you have can benefit from more coordination/collaboration.
- *Convening researchers* to discuss possible questions and research
approaches (maybe?)
- Discussing *best practices for community outreach, co-design, and
approval/consent* with intervention research (this might be especially valuable)
I don't have very clear thoughts on these, yet.
- *Sharing research insights into other parts of Wikimania* (would love
to help here, especially since we have a number of new results coming out, but unsure how it would work without tracks in the same way?)
Let's keep exploring this one. If we can find an engaging and accessible way to share the top n findings of the past year, that'd be great, in my humble opinion.
I'm clearly excited to think through this with you. ;) I'll be quiet for others to chime in. Happy to brainstorm more in the coming 11 days.
Best, Leila
All the best,
