Find out how Wikipedia helps make science more reliable, accessible, and open to everyone.
Check out this exhibition, which explores the role of Wikipedia in making science more reliable and accessible to the general public at the UPM Medical University Library.
Given the widespread adoption and now almost routine use of generative artificial intelligence tools to find information, what role might Wikipedia play in mitigating the risks posed by information that can be easily manipulated? How can this collaborative online encyclopedia play a major role in promoting science and critical thinking, and serve as a reliable source of information accessible to everyone?
The Exhibition Wikipedia: The Joy of Sharing explains how Wikipedia and the other tools in the “galaxy” Wikimedia serve science and make reliable scientific knowledge available to everyone. It also provides an opportunity to showcase the Wikimedia residency hosted at theUniversity of Montpellier.
This exhibition will then tour the UM’s university libraries: the Sciences Library (January 18–February 19, 2027), the Richter Library (March1–26, 2027), and the Nîmes Medicine Library (April 12–May 10, 2027). Dates are subject to change throughout the year.
