Summary:
"The Wikimedia Science Hub seeks to facilitate Wikimedia activities relating to scientific and other scholarly content from all disciplines of systematic inquiries. In terms of knowledge domains, this includes the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, engineering, mathematics, medicine and so on. On the wiki side, it includes all content, communities and infrastructure of Wikimedia wikis as well as supporting activities. ...The goal of the Science Hub is to serve as an administrative and grantmaking center for the scientific community of affiliates and user groups in the Wikimedia Ecosystem. Our goal is to develop networks in each of the Wikimedia Regions, especially to help community members find partners for projects and granting opportunities in general. The hub is especially set up to support community members in finding partners, finding grants, and administering grants. This assistance can be for instance to develop standard ways for Wikimedia affiliates to report their science based activity, developing regular reports of the scientific initiatives and efforts that Wikimedia is undertaking, providing example inter-university grant agreements, and even serving as a fiscal sponsor where it makes sense...."
