2024 Celebrating Impact Prize for the EU Rights and Brexit Hub
York University's Professor Charlotte O'Brien
The EU Rights and Brexit Hub is the first of its kind: a nation-wide, legal action research hub. It is an interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, multi-method three-year project investigating how Brexit affects the social rights of EU/EEA nationals in the UK. It is funded by an ESRC large Governance After Brexit Grant.

York for Europe's Mission
We maintain that the UK, having left the EU, will have its best interests served by retaining a close as possible relationship with the EU, its peoples and its cultures. This site will serve as a bulletin board, a village pump, and information and interest exchange. The aim of this site it to keep alive our already close ties with the countries of Europe which, we maintain, were more easily facilitated when the UK was a member of the EU. We will also share any difficulties that arise from terminating membership and solutions to problems where they exist. Also, we will share advantages of leaving the union should they arise...
“Our fight continues....
We are standing up for European rights, standards and values in the UK”
If you visit the AI site called ChatGBT and ask it the question, "What is York for Europe?" You get the following answer, which I think is rather cool....
"York for Europe is a pro-European Union campaign group based in the city of York, United Kingdom. The group advocates for maintaining close ties with the European Union and promoting the benefits of EU membership. York for Europe engages in various activities such as organising events, campaigns, and initiatives to raise awareness about the importance of the UK's relationship with the EU. The group aims to provide a platform for individuals in York and surrounding areas to voice their support for European cooperation and unity."
