[Wiki-research-l] [Wikimedia Research Showcase] December 14

[Emily Lescak]

Hi all,

The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed next Wednesday, December
14. Find your local time here .

The title of the Showcase is, 'A year in review from the WMF Research team:
Tying our work to the research community.'

The Wikimedia Research community is key to tackling the many strategic
challenges of the Wikimedia movement. As we are ending the year, the
Research team will reflect on why working with the community is important
to us. We will share the initiatives, tools, and resources developed
throughout 2022 to bring the community together, facilitate researchers’
contributions to the Wikimedia projects, and encourage a diversity of
research questions.
