Hi all,

Wikimédia France, a non-profit organization supporting Wikimedia projects in France, is launching an international research prize to reward the most influential research work on Wikimedia projects and free knowledge projects in general.

What is quite new about this award is that everyone can participate:

1. by ranking nominated papers to elect the winner (ranking is shared

with the award jury). 2. by submitting important articles in this field of research for the Award.

Regarding the latter, we are now in the process of proposing papers and we'd appreciate if some of you can lend a hand. If you consider a paper has been particularly important in the field of free knowledge/Wikipedia studies and must be taken into account, do not hesitate to submit it now!

Please use this form: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikimedia_France_Research_Award/pape.... Deadline for paper suggestion is August 1st.

After that, the next phase is shortlisting nominated papers. The Wikimedia Award Jury will study all proposed papers to submit 5 papers to the final vote in September. The announcement of the winner is planned in November.

Please find all details here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikimedia_France_Research_Award

If you have any questions, please use the project talk page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Wikimedia_France_Research_Award

Thanks!
