Zweiter Tag der #KNOER-Tagung in Berlin – mit Blick auf die Synergien von #OpenEducation & #OpenScience.
Vor der Vertretung des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz wurde heute nicht nur das Netz gestärkt, sondern auch der Dialog zu gemeinsamen Perspektiven. Offen, engagiert, vernetzt – so geht es weiter!
Opening of the #OpenScience Barcamp 2025 by Nina from #Wikipedia on current threats on #OpenKnowledge in the freshly renovated offices of Wikimedia. Große Vorfreunde! #oscibar2025
Interesting coincidence: I’m listening to an episode of „Sockenpuppenzoo – Angriff auf Wikipedia“ (SWR podcast) on my way to #osibar2025 hosted at Wilkimedia in Berlin. I recommend the #podcast and look forward to meeting everyone! https://www.swr.de/swrkultur/doku-und-feature/podcast-sockenpuppenzoo-100.html #OpenScience #OpenKnowledge
Es gibt tatsächlich einen #Wikipedianerstammtisch im #Saarland bis heute? Wow…
Ich war da ein einziges Mal, laut Wikipedia 2012 und genau von dem Treffen gibt es dort ein Foto.

Fancy contributing to free knowledge?
On 11 June, together with the Yper Museum, we are organising a writing session on artists from Ypres and the Westhoek.
The aim: to make their work and life stories more visible on Wikipedia.
Everyone welcome - even those who have never edited Wikipedia before!

"This survey aims to gather perspectives on achieving truly equitable global open access as outlined in the OASPA ‘Next 50%’ project primer available via the Zenodo repository: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15463314.
Your responses will inform discussions about reassessing what "open" truly means and on creating a more inclusive knowledge ecosystem. This will support a more holistic transition to open access."
