Thanks to the Grant, ELI will continue to contribute to the improvement of European law and the formation of a more vigorous legal community through projects and other activities. The latter will increase the capacity of national practitioners and authorities to address issues relating to judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters, increase the awareness of policy makers in various fields and improve knowledge on legislation and administrative practices, among others.

ELI has been the beneficiary of the EU Operating Grants each year since 2015.

Other sources of finance include funds from a cooperation agreement with the University of Vienna, membership fees and a project grant from the Fritz Thyssen Foundation. You can find out more about the ELI’s various sources of funding here.
