Signing the Memorandum for collaboration

University of Goce Delchev from Shtip and Wikimedia MKD start a new collaboration

Creating new partnerships and maintaining strong relations with institutions with whom Wikimedia MKD has already signed a memorandum for collaboration are one of the key factors for reaching the goals of the movement itself. Creating new partnerships expands the scope of the work of Wikimedia MKD, provides new potential for new activities and projects and what is more important, finding new sources for obtaining free knowledge and materials for benefits of Wikipedia and its related project.

Wikimedia MKD continues to establish partnerships and signing memorandums for collaboration with various GLAM and education institutions in Macedonia. The newest established collaboration is the signing of Memorandum for Collaboration with the University of Goce Delchev in Shtip. The Memorandum was signed on 4 June 2024 at the University's offices, where Wikimedia MKD's delegation was received by the University's leading personnel. This memorandum formalizes the longer collaboration that existed between the University and Wikimedia MKD. The mutual goals of the collaboration are creating free access to data, free Wikipedia content, improving Wikipedia's sister projects and involving a larger number of people, educational workers and volunteers, into Wikimedia activities.
