Future Knowledge and Wikipedia

‘Science for All’ is a not-for-profit group that enables people to share knowledge and ideas, use the scientific method to create new knowledge and support more people to get involved in shaping the future of human knowledge. ‘Science for All’ is run by a small team of volunteers, with the support of the Royal Society of Victoria.

Science for All

In our first partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation, we’ll be hosting a discussion to explore the future of knowledge creation and how projects like Wikipedia can support free knowledge, for everyone. The second half of the afternoon willfocus on Australian plants and the knowledge base of Indigenous Australians to get everyone started.
