The 2024 winners— the Irish Hub, the Turkish Hub and the Digital Law SIG—received the awards in recognition of their significant contributions to ELI.

The Irish Hub is chaired by Paul Gilligan (Retired Judge of the Irish Court of Appeal), Paul Keane (Lawyer; Council of the Law Society of Ireland) and William McKechnie (Irish Supreme Court Judge). The Hub hosted the 2024 ELI Annual Conference.

Over the last 12 month, the Hub organised numerous webinars aimed at promoting ELI’s projects.

The Digital Law SIG is chaired by André Janssen (Full Professor of Private Law, Chair of Private Law, Intellectual Property Rights and Environmental Law, Department of Economics and Management, University of Ferrara) and Christoph Busch (Full Professor of Law and the Director of the European Legal Studies Institute, University of Osnabrück).
