ptPorto Meeting 2025 is a celebration of linguistic and cultural diversity in the Iberian space, combining community and scientific work with the technological possibilities offered by Wikimedia platforms. It will take place from May 21 to 25, 2025, with activities split between the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto (FLUP) and Miranda do Douro, combining technical sessions, participatory workshops, and community-based activities.
The event brings together representatives of minoritized linguistic communities, Wikimedia editors, researchers, students, and local development stakeholders, promoting the intersection of open science, digital sovereignty, and linguistic justice, with an emphasis on local empowerment and the construction of cross-border collaboration networks.
Wikimedia projects are grounded in the principle of linguistic diversity. They are a collective effort to enable access to information and knowledge in as many languages as possible. In addition to facilitating access to the sum of all knowledge, they serve to protect minority or minoritized languages. It is in this context that the Porto Meeting arises — a gathering aimed at promoting linguistic diversity in Wikimedia projects, while also drawing inspiration from the experience and value of events such as the Celtic Knot Conference or Wikimedia CEE Meeting.
