[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedia Research Needs-assessment deadline extended till 5 March 2021
Hello, The Access to Knowledge (A2K) team at CIS has been engaged with work on research on Indian language Wikimedia projects as part of the APG since 2019. This year, following up on our learnings from work so far, we are undertaking a needs assessment exercise to understand a) the awareness about research within Indian language Wikimedia communities, and identify existing projects if any, and b) to gather community inputs on knowledge gaps and priority areas of focus and the role of research in addressing the same. We would therefore request interested community members to respond to the needs assessment questionnaire here: https://forms.gle/2xGAUBKSVJTK7Wks9 The deadline to submit your response has been extended till 5 March 2021. Feel free to write in any language.
