SECURE-CS TPM-3 Successfully Completed in Skopje

The third Transnational Project Meeting of the SECURE-CS project, “Civil Society Initiatives Strengthened with Information and Data Security,” was successfully held in Skopje, North Macedonia on 14 March 2026, hosted by MHRA. As one of the final coordination meetings of the project, TPM-3 provided an important space for partners to review the full implementation process and consolidate the work completed during the project period.

During the meeting, project partners evaluated the progress achieved so far and discussed the final status of the main project deliverables. The meeting focused not only on what had been completed, but also on how the project results could remain visible, usable, and sustainable after the formal implementation period.

A major agenda item of TPM-3 was the final review of the project’s intellectual outputs. Partners examined IO1: Curriculum for Developing Digital Security Infrastructure through Civil Society and IO2: Dissemination of Good Practices and the Online Digital Security Testing Center. These outputs represent the core practical contribution of SECURE-CS to civil society organizations seeking to strengthen their information and data security capacity.

The meeting also created a shared framework for assessing project results and impact. Partners discussed how the activities, training processes, digital tools, and dissemination actions contributed to the wider objective of increasing digital security awareness among civil society actors. This discussion helped connect the project’s technical outputs with its broader institutional and social value.

Dissemination activities were another key part of the meeting. The partnership reviewed the visibility of the project outputs, the use of project communication channels, and the ways in which the SECURE-CS results could continue to reach NGOs, youth organizations, associations, foundations, and relevant stakeholders after the project’s final phase.

TPM-3 also addressed final administrative procedures. Partners discussed reporting, documentation, quality review, and closing steps to ensure that the project would be completed in a coordinated, transparent, and accountable manner. This final coordination process supported both the technical quality of the outputs and the institutional reliability of the partnership.

The Skopje meeting strengthened cooperation among project partners and helped ensure that the SECURE-CS outputs would remain visible, sustainable, and practically useful for civil society organizations. As the project moved toward its final stage, TPM-3 played a key role in aligning project results, impact, dissemination, and administrative closure within one shared roadmap.

The SECURE-CS project is co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Programme and continues to contribute to safer, more resilient, and more digitally aware civil society practices.
