The Wikimedia Research Fund provides support to individuals, groups, and organizations with an interest in conducting research on or about Wikimedia projects. Submissions are encouraged from research disciplines including (but not limited to) the humanities, social sciences, computer science, education, and law.

The fund prioritises applicants who:

• have limited access to research funding
• are in regions of the world where the Wikimedia research community has less representation
• are proposing work in coordination or collaboration with Wikimedia affiliates
• and/or are proposing work that has potential for direct, positive impact on their local communities or the global Wikimedia communities.

If you wish to partner with or need assistance from Wikimedia Australia in your research funding application, please contact us to discuss.

Information on eligibility criteria, application forms and guides can be viewed on the Grants Page on Metawiki.

Applications are open until December 15, 2023.
