English: Following successful collaborations with Wikimedia in 2015, the University of Edinburgh hosted a Wikimedian in Residence in 2016 as part of a year-long project to advocate and raise awareness of Open Knowledge, working with academic staff, students, library & archive staff and Wikimedians throughout Scotland. This infographic demonstrates the outcomes of the residency so far. As of January 2017, the residency has now been extended for another year to continue & build on the successes of its first year.
