The Central European Lawyers Initiative presents a focused study series on the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on legal systems and policies in Central Europe. With AI reshaping industries, we examine its alignment with EU regulations, its challenges for legal frameworks. Our research highlights how Central Europe can harmonize innovation with legal traditions.
The Central European Lawyers Initiative hosts unique events that bring together experts and visionaries to shape the future of law and technology. From the CELI Mentorship Program, which empowers the next generation of legal professionals, to high-level forums on digital competitiveness, global technology, and artificial intelligence, our events foster innovation and collaboration.
Highlights include the prestigious Brussels book launch, showcasing groundbreaking research at the heart of EU policymaking, as well as gatherings in Prague, Budapest, and Vienna, where tradition meets progress in the evolving legal landscape.
Because the birth of European integration is half here. After divided national borders, families and bloody wars, nations and peoples have been able to reunite across divides under the flag of Europe. Central Europe’s historic message is the unity that Europe needs today, as much as it needed after the Second World War.
Because then and now the EU project seems to be a geopolitical project. The German-French reconciliation after the Second World War brought lasting progress and peace. Now that Europe is again facing geopolitical challenges from the world, it is time to revitalise these roots. If the world is burdened with geopolitical challenges, the EU must once again become geopolitical and resolve its internal disputes. Geopolitics means that the EU controls its borders, has a common defence policy, a technology strategy and represents in the world the peace that is the reason for its creation. All this cannot be imagined without internal unity.
