"Safer Internet LT" is made up of a consortium of two partners who have extensive experience working together.

Communications Regulatory Authority of the Republic of Lithuania (Coordinator of consortium) is national regulator which responsibilities among others are the work on the consumer education and awareness raising, reduction of negative impact of network and information security incidents and illegal content, management of network and information security incidents (CERT functions), encouragement of the development of legal and standardisation measures of network and information security.

Ministry of Education and Sciences of the Republic of Lithuania is committed to prevention of harmful content. It is the best multiplier in the country with its network of education centres (schools, universities, etc.) and is a good relay to disseminate information about internet safety and hotline actions.

Objectives:

• Act as node of awareness network in Lithuania. Devise a cohesive, hard-hitting and targeted awareness campaign using the most appropriate media, taking into account best practice and experience in other countries.
• Establish and maintain a partnership (formal or informal) with key players (government agencies, press and media groups, ISP associations) and actions in their country relating to safer use of Internet and new media.
• Co-operate with work in the wider field of media and information literacy.
• Inform users about European filtering software and services and about hotlines
• Actively co-operate with other national nodes in the European network by exchanging information about best practices, participating in meetings and designing and implementing a European approach, adapted as necessary for national linguistic and cultural preferences
• Provide a pool of expertise and technical assistance to start-up awareness nodes (new nodes could be ‘adopted’ by a more experienced node)
