All these projects and activities are part of the Shared Knowledge's Annual Plan. This section will describe how the activities progressed during the Third quarter.

Education & Science Program

edit

1. Professors Mentorship

Goals met by this activity

According to our metrics this program for the entire year should have at least 15 total participants. Two participants got involved in this quarter. That makes four total participants from Q1 to Q3, that translates to 26.60% of the total participants annual quota is achieved. There were no new participants among these two people in Q3, and the participation is 0 in the period of Q1-Q3. According to our total pages quota, in 2023 at least 40 pages in total should be covered. In Q3, 6 total content pages were gained. As of September, 80 content pages were covered and that is 200% progress.
