Dear all,
* One of Wikimedia UK's aims is to teach underrepresented groups how to edit Wikipedia and develop underrepresented content (e.g. Women in Science). Wikimedia UK has been running 'Women in Science' editathons for several years. In 2013 our editathons http://www.centenary.mrc.ac.uk/events/mrcroyal-societywikimedia-uk-women-in-science-wikipedia-edit-a-thons/ received extremely positive responses from the attendees and in general. The events were delivered in partnerships with other organisations who host them and invite people from their networks to attend. They are also made possible thanks to support of volunteer trainers. During 2013 we have been getting many more enquiries that we were able to assist with, and would now like to explore these opportunities. * *We are now looking for a volunteer who would be interested in supporting organisation and delivery of 2014 Women in Science events (possibly to link with Ada Lovelace celebrations in October). This would suit someone sympathetic to the issues of gender gap and interested in event organisation. It's estimated the project would take place over September-November, requiring 10-20 hours a week of time. * *Anyone interested or wanting to find out more please contact Daria by 28th July. * *Many thanks, * *Daria*
