The BioRECO2VER Project ([1]) is a joint scientific project working on the topic of CO2 Capture and Utilization. To communicate the topics and results the project organizes a Wikipedia training and Edit-a-thon. The goal of this course is to edit and update descriptions in Wikipedia of concepts such as Carbon capture and utilization, Gas fermentation technologies, Elecrofermentation and related topcs, where information gaps currently exist (see below). The event is organised by Achim Raschka (wikipedian from Germany, employee of Nova-Institut as consortium partner) with support from the Flemish institute for technological research (VITO), Luleå University of Technology, National Research Council (Italy) (CNR) and University of Girona. Commercial partners of the project will not be directly included in this edit-a-thon.
The BioRECO2VER Wikipedia Edit-a-thon is meant for anybody who uses Wikipedia and we invite scientist, researchers and Ph.D students interested in the addressed topics to participate.
Participants
editWhere and when
editThe Editathon will be organised as an online event running for several sessions. The participants start with a first session on creating an account and sign-up at this page, then starting with first editing and later on working together on dedicated articles linked to the topics of the project.
To discuss problems and other topics a set of meeting will be held via Zoom (or other software) at specific dates.
What did the Edit-a-thon's participants bring?
edit- Their laptops(and a chargers!)
- Their Wikipedia login details (same of them created a free account here)
- Their enthusiasm to help contribute to the world's greatest encyclopaedia

Outcomes
editThe main focus to work on will be the english Wikipedia, but since BioRECO2VER is an international project the students and scientists may also work on the wikis in their mother language (German, Italian, Spanisch, Vlemisch/Dutch, Catalán)
