Logo for the Wikidata Wikiproject Higher education

The WikiProject Higher education works towards a better coverage of universities, colleges, and other research institutions in Wikidata. The goal is to create a comprehensive and rich catalog of institutions, with strong links to other entities in the academic ecosystem (researchers, publications, alumni, facilites, projects, libraries…). The scope is not meant to be restrictive, feel free to broaden the focus!
