The Magna Charta Universitatum, a declaration and approval of the basic principles on which the mission of universities should be based, was signed in 1988 on the occasion of the 900th anniversary of the University of Bologna. The first principle was independence: research and teaching should be intellectually and morally independent of all political influences and economic interests. Second, teaching and research must be continuous, and students seek knowledge and better understand it. The third principle defined the university as a place for free research and debate, characterized by openness to dialogue and rejection of intolerance.
The principles set out in the Magna Charta Universitatum are the same today as they were in 1988, and they are a prerequisite for advancing a person through research, analysis and sound action.
Therefore, the Board of Governors of the Grand Charter Observatory has decided that MCU 2020 will be launched during an online event on June 16-17, 2021.
