2019 European GLAMwiki Coordinators meeting

3rd European GLAMwiki Coordinators Meeting,

Stockholm University, Wednesday 14 August, 2019

Many Wikimedia affiliates are actively involved in GLAM activities, but rarely do we work together. Following from the 2015 edition and 2017 edition, this is a one day meeting is to share skills and best practices, coordinate projects, and consolidate connections between parts of our movement.

This meeting will take place parallel to the first day of the Wikimania 2019 Hackathon, in the "Spelbomskan" room of the Aula Magna building (top floor).
