Summary/Abstract: This study, which comes as the third phase of the joint cooperation between Analytica and ELIAMEP aims to build upon existing cooperation between the two institutions while extending the joint research activities in identifying potential areas of further cooperation in the fields of research, education, civil society and culture as specified under the Prespa Agreement. The aim is to continue to facilitate connections and networking among civil society organizations from both sides of the border, mapping out potential obstacles for intensification of cooperation, and investigating how the lessons learned from the previous cooperation within the project can be replicated into future intensified cooperation between the two nations. In that context, the purpose of this study is to continue with the contribution of the building of good neighbourly relations between Greece and North Macedonia by joint actions of two civil society organizations and facilitating the implementation of the Prespa Agreement through evidence-based research, promotion of good practices and lessons learned and providing policy recommendations.
