Communication Activities: ELI’s activities include analytical activities, mutual learning, cooperation, awareness-raising and disseminating activities, among others. These are organised around thematic projects that address concrete problems and aim at providing guidance, setting standards and stimulating European legal development in a global context with a focus on judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters as well as access to justice. ELI projects and other activities are regulated by the ELI Statute and Revised ELI Project Guidelines, which provide for rigorous selection, monitoring and adoption procedures, ensuring that final output considers a variety of views and is supported by the European legal community. Projects are at the core of ELI’s activities and they are clustered under three thematic umbrellas: Rule of Law in the 21st Century, Law and Governance for the Digital Age and Sustainable Life and Society.
