Wikipedia
Come join us for a society that is dedicated to free and accessible knowledge, allows you to explore your interests, and is searching new frontiers in modern education - especially at our topical debates and riotous events!
Our Aim:
We aim to add to content throughout Wikipedia via editing groups, where students explore academic or personal interests while developing their knowledge, team working and writing skills.
Our Vision:
Regular edit group meetups to edit with like minded people, including postgraduate and academic input
Social events such as trivia nights and photography competitions in London
Meetings with Wikipedians outside Imperial College, including IC alumni
Increasing awareness of how to use Wikipedia, including in teaching programs, through the Campus Ambassadors program
Mutually beneficial initiatives with local museums through a GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) ambassador as part of wiki GLAM activities
Starting a discussion with London academics about how academia and Wikipedia should perceive each other - the London Wikipedia academy
