With apologies for cross-posting, please keep reading for an invitation to join an emergent Wikimedia Science Hub.

A group of us working at the intersection of science and Wikimedia are in the initial stages of proposing a Science Hub for Wikimedia. We are looking for individuals and affiliates to join the initiative. Please express your interest in this project here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Science_Hub/join

About the Science Hub The Wikimedia Science Hub seeks to facilitate Wikimedia activities relating to scientific and other scholarly content from all disciplines of systematic inquiries. In terms of knowledge domains, this includes the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, engineering, mathematics, medicine and so on. On the wiki side, it includes all content, communities and infrastructure of Wikimedia wikis as well as supporting activities We are especially interested in the activities related to the following three areas:

1. Wiki about scientific matters: This includes on-wiki content relating to any knowledge domain, on any Wikimedia wiki, in any language. It also includes supporting infrastructure and activities. 2. Scientific matters about wiki: This includes scientific research and knowledge — from any field of knowledge domain — about Wikimedia contents, workflows, infrastructure or communities regarding any Wikimedia wiki, in any language. 3. Tightly interwoven wiki and scientific matters: This is about activities, materials or processes in which the wiki aspects and the scientific aspects are closely intertwined, e.g. because the research is both based on and contributing to wiki matters.

We welcome updates, discussion, and questions on the meta page. Thank you for your interest,

Matt
