The jury commended both laureates for their many years of personal and above-and-beyond commitment to a digital transformation that is not conceived solely in technical terms, but which brings tangible benefits to people, is underpinned by the rule of law and fulfils its social responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Professor Anne Paschke<\/strong> was honoured for her outstanding work at the intersection of law, digital administration, agile governance and the digitalisation of the judiciary. Her work embodies a form of digitalisation that takes institutional responsibility seriously. The focus is not on technical feasibility, but on how digital systems can be designed in a manner that respects the rule of law, is subject to democratic scrutiny and is oriented towards the common good.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis award is a great honour for me and, at the same time, a validation of our research,\u201d says Professor Paschke. \u201cThe digital transformation has gained new momentum with the rapid development of artificial intelligence. What still required a great deal of persuasion just a few years ago is now understood by more and more people as a shared task we must shape together. I am particularly pleased by this development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Sarah Rachut<\/strong> was honoured for her exceptional commitment to a form of digitalisation that enables participation, safeguards fundamental rights and solves people\u2019s practical problems. The jury recognised her as a scholar who does not treat digitalisation in abstract terms, but always asks how legal frameworks can enable innovation whilst at the same time safeguarding freedom, equality, fairness and trust.<\/p>\n

\u201cScience has the greatest impact when it takes place in dialogue with business, government and society,\u201d says Professor Rachut. \u201cIn my view, the realisation of fundamental rights in digital contexts is a key factor in a successful digital transformation; it ensures that spaces for freedom are preserved, participation is enabled and, in this way, trust in the rule of law is strengthened.\u201d<\/p>\n
