The interim meeting was organised by the MK2025 project partner from North Macedonia on 25 May 2023. The meeting was an opportunity to summarize all the activities carried out so far since the beginning of the project, what has been achieved and what the consortium is still waiting for. Each of the partners presented initial findings on the PHS sector in their country. We also reviewed the success of the two online surveys that we have recently launched. See the presentations of partners from Poland, Estonia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, Czech Republic and Slovakia. The first findings will be part of comprehensive national reports.
