On the basis that 80% of Wikipedia contributors are men and that the part for women is still very poorly documented in French- speaking Switzerland, the project aims to address the "gender gap" of Wikipedia by inviting people to contribute by publishing articles in their area of expertise.

HES-SO offers this spring a series of 6 workshops after which people will be able to:
1. publish on Wikipedia
2. respond to changes of articles arguing and defending their views
3. set up an internet information search system to document and reference their articles respecting the charter of Wikipedia.

Other similar workshops will subsequently be organized by EPFL in collaboration with HEL.
