Dear All,

I am happy to announce that the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation has officially started a new Formal Collaboration [1] with the University of Turin (Italy) on Understanding Readers' Engagement with Images in Wikipedia.

Rossano Schifanella, Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Turin, will be the main formal collaborator contributing to this project. We are thankful to Rossano for agreeing to spend his time and expertise on this project in the coming year!

We aim to keep the research documentation for this project in the corresponding research page on meta [2], which will link to a Phabricator task capturing research updates. I will be the point of contact for this research in the Wikimedia Foundation. Please feel free to reach out if you have comments or questions about the research!

Best,

Miriam
