Hi,

If you're a researcher (whether from academia, industry, other sectors, or independent), you'll probably be interested in participating in the online session "Scientific greetings", which will be held this Sunday, 31 October, as part of the WikidataCon 2021 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021. In this condensed session each researcher will have 5 minutes to present what aspects of Wikidata they're studying or how Wikidata is useful for their research, find out what other colleagues are working on, and ask for or offer collaboration.

We're sending this email to inform you that prior registration is required to present at this session, so we encourage you to follow the steps below:

1. Sign up for the WikidataCon 2021 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021 (online, 29-31 Oct) if you haven't already done so. It's free and requires no personal data. 2. *Add your name or username and, optionally, other details **here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Program/Scientific_greetings**as soon as possible*. Slots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you want to prepare slides, feel free to use this template https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XqQYDwfOnIAlhEjz__AJxg3lluYuNp3QOyoRywGFvKg/edit?usp=sharing. If you're planning a pre-recorded session, please upload it to Youtube or Vimeo (unfortunately, we can't display videos from Commons).

Please feel free to share this email with anyone who might find it useful, and write to us if you have any questions. We hope you enjoy the session and the conference.

The organizers of the session, Tiago, Gabriel and David
