The Magna Charta Universitatum (Great Charter of Universities) is a short two-page document signed in Bologna, Italy in 1988 explicitly defining key principles underpinning the existence of universities such as academic freedom and institutional autonomy.[1] The document is signed by higher education institutions with the aim to recognize and celebrate university traditions and to encourage cooperation among European universities.[2] The document is intended to serve as a universal inspiration and is as such open to universities throughout the world and not only those located in Europe.[2]
The charter was established by the University of Bologna and the European Rectors' Conference (now EUA) in 1988, to mark the 900th anniversary of the University of Bologna, with 388 original signatories.[2][3] As of 2024[update] it has been signed by 975 universities from 94 countries.[4]
