I wanted to invite you and your communities to participate in a series of upcoming webinars the Wikimedia Foundation is hosting in collaboration with the International Science Council examining the combatting of online disinformation around scientific issues and how the Wikimedia model can be a tool to share accurate scientific knowledge with the global community. 

The first webinar, Managing Knowledge Integrity on Information Platforms, will take place on 16 March at 13:00 UTC and will explore Wikimedia projects as models for safeguarding the provenance of scientific information online, including the benefits and challenges of our projects relative to other models for digital platforms. The second webinar, Building Special Projects on Wikipedia: The Covid Case Study, will take place on 30 March at 13:00 UTC and will explore how editors and researchers can mobilize to create content around special themes on Wikipedia, focusing on the Wikimedia community’s response to the COVID pandemic as a case study. 

You can register and find more information about these webinars at the links above. Please feel free to share this invitation widely within your communities and networks. 

Best regards,
