Dear all,
I'm just bumping this thread - to remind those on this list about the
WikiCite Satellite event grants process that is open, for events happening
in the first half of 2020.
Notably, the larger grant category has a deadline at the *end of this
month*. This is for grants up to $10k (USD equivalent) for events in
association with professional conferences.
The second category, for up to $2k, is for any kind of
event/workshop/meetup which can have a practical impact on the issues of
structured, open, citations in your community. Applications for these
grants are reviewed every two weeks until the funding is spent. So... the
sooner you apply, the better!
All the details, criteria, and application form, are at Meta wiki here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite#2020_Satellite_Events_-_Call_for_P…
Please feel free to write back to me directly/privately if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
- Liam Wyatt

Dear Wikimedians,
The call for proposals for grants to organise WikiCite satellite events
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite> to be held first half of 2020
is now open.
WikiCite is an initiative to develop open citations and linked
bibliographic data to serve free knowledge. Since 2016, there has been an
annual conference in support of that goal. In 2020, this will become a
series of independently organised Satellite events around the world.
The steering committee, with the financial support of the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation and the Wikimedia Foundation, are offering grants to support
WikiCite Satellite events in three categories for events happening in the first
half of 2020:
1.
*International events in association with professional conferences *[Maximum
$10k each, Application deadline 1 February] (details
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite#1:_International_events_in_association_with_professional_conferences>
)
2.
Local workshops and meetups [Maximum $2k each, Open until funds are
allocated] (details
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite#2:_Local_workshops_and_meetups>
)
3.
Events seeking non-financial support (details
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite#3:_Events_seeking_non-financial_support>
)
Submissions are especially encouraged if they are related to marginalised
knowledge and/or hosted at a location in the global South.

Note: If you wish to host an event in support of WikiCite’s aims, but do
not require any support, you do not need to apply for ‘permission’. Please
add your event to the ongoing calendar of events
