The project
Wikipedia is increasingly becoming the source of knowledge for the public. When using Google or other search engines to find information, Wikipedia articles will almost exclusively belong to the highest ranked websites. Therefore, Wikipedia should also be the natural arena for knowledge-sharing by those who know the most about a topic.

Currently, Wikipedia projects linked to universities are so far based on student contributions and individual researchers, but to this day there is no project where researchers officially affiliated with a particular university write about science on Wikipedia in an organized form. Since no university has taken this challenge seriously, SLU would be the pioneer of the scientific community's commitment to Wikipedia.
