From 13 to 17 July 2020, an intensive course on Science, technology, society and Wikipedia for Masters and PhD students is being run, online, by the Polytechnic University of Milan (PoliMi), Italy, in conjunction with Idea League, and with the collaboration of Wikimedia Italia.
Start time: 9:30am Italian time; see World Time Buddy for your local time.

Mission and goals
editThe course aims to provide some hands-on training in technical writing and, at the same time, to contribute to the general diffusion of scientific and technical knowledge. This will be achieved by engaging the students in the production of new material (or improvement of existing material) for Wikipedia.
Attendees are PhD or Master students in various science and technology degrees, in particular engineering, architecture and industrial design. About half of them will write articles in English, half in Italian.
Instructors
edit- Teachers: prof. Guido Raos and prof. Chiara Castiglioni
- Lectures (in English): Andy Mabbett, FRSA (WikimediaUK accredited trainer)
- Tutors: Marco Chemello and Niccolò "Jaqen" Caranti (Wikimedia Italia accredited tutors)

What we do
editEach student will produce one complete Wikipedia article or more in English and/or Italian. The choice of the language is by the student.
As alternative to the creation of a new article (preferred choice), it is possible to produce extensions to one or more existing articles. The bare translation of an article is not considered sufficient.
The articles will be chosen during the first/second day in agreement with the teachers, and with the tutors' assistance.
New articles will be developed in individual sandboxes. The full articles have to be published by the morning of the last day of the course (17 July).
Additionally, every student should review at least 3 articles by the other participants (during the last day).
