The proposed Strategic Partnership primarily addresses the specific priority in the field of higher education related to support to higher education institutions in implementing reforms in line with the “Communication from the Commission: modernisation of Europe's higher education systems”. It will contribute to “Improving the quality and relevance of higher education”. Secondly, the proposal promotes innovation in higher education through more interactive learning environments and strengthened knowledge-transfer between higher education and regulatory agencies. The pervasiveness of information and communication technologies and of the internet results in rapid development and uptake of new modes of doing business, as well as new platforms for delivering government and entertainment services. This is the essence of the new societal paradigm of e-Government, e-Business and e-Culture (triple-e) which transcends national boundaries and makes national regulatory regimes obsolete or difficult to enforce. At the same time such developments give raise to or strengthen numerous issues related to IT/cybersecurity, enforcement of the right to privacy and personal data protection on the internet. These challenges can only be tackled by taking a unified, global approach and by examining the legal and ethical limits of trade-offs between the convenience and efficiency offered by the new technologies, on one hand, and the risks they carry to security and individual human rights, on the other hand. In Europe the mentioned legal aspects are being harmonized through the alignment with the EU acquis, which brings together not only the systems of EU Member States, but also those of Member States and aspirant countries. A number of company surveys consistently indicate that businesses lack specialists in the fields of triple-e, which have a multidisciplinary understanding of technical, business, legal and human rights aspects of these developments. The complexities of such a multidisciplinary approach necessitates serious effort to modernize higher education curricula, and to provide an advanced educational profile that will draw on specifics not only of one national context but will refer to an international viewpoint. Thus the project aims to set up an innovative postgraduate programme, that will be offered in a number of countries through an online learning and teaching platform able to unite organizations from different countries and different sectors in the study programme delivery. Such an approach, will not only increase the relevance of the study programme to the international labour market nees, but will also significantly reduce the costs of delivery, while appealing to a wider audience. The objectives of the project are threefold: 1. To adjust postgraduate study offer to labour market needs in the fields of IT law, IT security, right to privacy and personal data protection, e-Business, e-Government, e-Culture 2. To improve quality of the postgraduate education through developed cooperation between universities from Macedonia and Poland and also by including input and hands-on experiences in these fields by the relevant regulatory agencies in the field of personal data protection 3. To improve flexibility, enhanced digital integration and diversified delivery of the postgraduate education offer through the introduction of online-teaching Previous work relations among all partners and the regional approach were crucial for establishing this consortium. There are already established firm partnerships between all Data protection authorities (Macedonian, Bulgarian and Polish) in the field of personal data protection. Several common activities on regional level were performed, which resulted with raising awareness on different privacy issues among all Balkan and Visegrad countries. In this project DPAs will support construction of academic capacities on the topic of protection of triple-e and personal data, to enhance the cooperation between universities and public bodies, and share its expertise in the field with the universities through establishment of a study programme in the area of civil law on one hand, and privacy protection and cybersecurity issues. Extending the field of higher education, the project will also enable the data protection authorities to utilize the developed open educational resources and online learning platform to enrich their offering of life-long learning in the field. The higher education partners , the University of Lodz, and the University of Information Science and Technology of Ohrid, Macedonia have already initiated some activities relevant to aspects of this project proposal. The role of Universities will be to guide the process of curriculum and courses syllabi development, intertwining practical experiences, academic theories and EU legislation.
