FAQ

Why is it called UniWiki if I cannot edit anything?

The long term plan for UniWiki is to become a community driven data collection for anything University related. But we don't want to have redundant data or compete for contributions with other great resources, such as Wikipedia or ror.org. The plan is to reproduce their relevant data in Uniwiki with a clear reference to the source, and encourage to edit and improving the data directly at the source. For the data not openly present anywhere else (mainly a comprehensive collection of degree programs offered by universities all around the world) is where the "wiki" part will play the main role. We would like to transition to a truly open and community based dataset, with open license, while maintaining the UniWiki portal as private and (hopefully, one day) profitable.

Where is the data coming from?

Almost every piece of information you see in this website has a I icon next to it. If you click it you will see a more detailed explanation of what that piece of data means and usually a link to its source.

What is the monetization strategy?

At the moment UniWiki only source of income are donations. If you want to support the project, you can donate through Librepay. If it's not financially sustainable in the future we could try experimenting with ads (yeah, we also don't like ads, but...), a payed plus tier with extra features, or who knows.
