Dear Wikimedians,
The call for proposals for grants to organise WikiCite satellite
events<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite> to be held first half of 2020 is
now open.
WikiCite is an initiative to develop open citations and linked bibliographic data to serve
free knowledge. Since 2016, there has been an annual conference in support of that goal.
In 2020, this will become a series of independently organised Satellite events around the
world.
The steering committee, with the financial support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and
the Wikimedia Foundation, are offering grants to support WikiCite Satellite events in
three categories for events happening in the first half of 2020:
1. International events in association with professional conferences [Maximum $10k
each, Application deadline 1 February]
(
details<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite#1:_International_events…)
2. Local workshops and meetups [Maximum $2k each, Open until funds are allocated]
(

3. Events seeking non-financial support
(

Submissions are especially encouraged if they are related to marginalised knowledge and/or
hosted at a location in the global South.
To read the detailed criteria for each of these categories, and to apply for a WikiCite
Satellite event grant, visit:

Note: If you wish to host an event in support of WikiCite’s aims, but do not require any
support, you do not need to apply for ‘permission’. Please add your event to the ongoing
calendar of
events<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite/media>ia>.
