Dear all, I hope this email finds you settling back in after the holidays (or ideally, still on vacation). I'm sharing an opportunity to join what should be a great event at the end of this month! You are warmly invited to register for the *free and hybrid* conference, "A Right to Research in Africa?" which is hosted by ReCreate from January 23 - 27. Information about the conference is here [1] and you can still register to attend virtually [2]. The conference will cover a week of debates on copyright and access to knowledge, with discussions that range from digitising heritage to accessing African Data on health and the environment. Wikimedians will be hosting some of the sessions, including Douglas Scott from Wikimedia South Africa and Wikimedia Deutschland will also share some of their work around "public money - public good" [3]. Tune in for one or more sessions & please feel free to share with others who you think might be interested. All the best, Ziski ______ [1] https://www.re-createza.org/ [2] https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc9O1HKKOt9M9PFklJaXRo9eGyIbIBAcRR… [3] https://www.wikimedia.de/2019/en/themen/public-money-public-good/ Franziska Putz (she/her) Movement Advocacy Manager, Global Advocacy Wikimedia Foundation Fputz(a)wikimedia.org *UTC timezone
