Fernando Archuby
Argentine scientist and University Professor, specialized in fossil and current marine biodiversity. Wikimedist since 2015, I devote my volunteer effort to improve Wikimedia Projects from a global south and gender sensitive perspective.
I belong to the Equipo de Wikimedistas de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata and lead the initiative Wikimedistas en Ciencia Abierta (Wikimedists in Open Science). Our goals are involving Wikimedia Projects in Universities and Scientific institutions. We try to recruit scientists and teachers.

The Open Science and Wikimedia communities share the common goal of developing high quality openly available content, yet collaborations between the movements have been limited. Following discussions at last year’s Wikimania, the speakers conducted a survey of Wikimedia affiliates to gauge their knowledge of, interest in, and activities surrounding Open Science. The results of the survey will be shared and will form the basis for discussions around coordinating and strengthening activities between the two communities.
