EaseAccess24 joins panel on digital accessibility at the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering in Skopje

On 25 March 2026, our Co-Founder Filip Najdovski and Full-Stack Developer Petar Hristovski joined a panel discussion at the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering in Skopje, as part of the academic project "Digital Accessibility and Social Inclusion", representing EaseAccess24 as industry experts.

The event was organised under the leadership of Prof. Sasho Gramatikov and brought together accessibility practitioners, academic researchers, and international experts to discuss inclusive digital design and North Macedonia's upcoming Digital Accessibility Law, set to come into force on 1 July 2026.

Filip and Petar spoke about the practical realities of web accessibility: what it actually means to build for it, why most websites still fall short at a structural level, and what developers can do today.

"A lot of those pages are not accessible in their very structure. The HTML structure of the website has a certain semantics, a certain structure that needs to be built correctly for a screen reader to be able to navigate it."

"People with disabilities need assistive technologies to participate in that world. And we are, in a way, the bridge that connects digital assistive technologies with websites."

The room was engaged, the questions were real, and the energy was exactly what we hope to see more of. Accessibility is gaining ground in the Macedonian academic community, and that matters because the next generation of developers is forming its assumptions right now.

The event was also covered by Telma, one of North Macedonia's major television and news outlets.
