March Highlights - Everything is postponed

The importance of Serbian literature and culture editathon is postponed

In cooperation with the Adligat Organization, which is contained of the Museum of Serbian Literature, the Book and Travel Museum, the Lazić Library and the House of Legacies, we participated in the organization of an Editathon entitled The Importance of Serbian Literature and Culture. Unfortunately, the event was canceled due to the declaration of a state of emergency because of the COVID-19, but we look forward to maintaining it when the situation stabilizes or to organize it online.

Wikipedian in residence - Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Novi Sad

Wikimedia Serbia and the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Novi Sad have signed a Memorandum of Understanding within the GLAM program. Initial activities of this collaboration were planned for early April through the Wikipedian in residence project but it was delayed until the state of emergency is abolished. We are honored to have cooperated with the Institution, which has the second-largest library in the territory of Vojvodina. We are sure that the fruits of cooperation will be of great value to all of us.

Extension of activities with Belgrade City Library

After a very productive meeting with the representatives of the Belgrade City Library, an agreement was reached to expand the activities within the long-term cooperation. Due to the declaration of a state of emergency, the activities are postponed until the situation stabilizes, but we will not let it discourage us but will endeavor to use that time to plan the activities in detail.
