The London Wikipedia Academy is a mini-conference aimed at starting a conversation between academics and Wikipedians in London, moving from ethereal opinions to organised, evidence based, informed discussions. There will be a number of exciting speakers all engaging in a vital conversation for modern higher education.
Students, librarians and academics from across London have been invited by the first official student Wikipedia society in the UK, Wikipedians at Imperial College, to meet at their South Kensington campus April 13th 545-8pm.
This unique and original event promises to allow those pro and anti Wikipedia to discuss the key issues around its inevitable use by staff and academics, on every topic that is taught at higher education institutions in the capital.
