History
The Charter aims to unify educational systems and the development policies of the European university community ( text of the Charter ).
The University of Bologna in 1986 turned to leading European universities with a proposal to sign the Charter. Delegates from 80 European universities elected a council of eight leaders from leading European universities and Council of Europe representatives to draft the Charter. The charter is signed by 889 universities from 88 countries .
The Charter is designed to help solve the problem of free movement of highly qualified personnel, researchers, scientists between countries, overcoming the high diversification of the content of education, qualification systems, degrees and diplomas in various states.
The Charter outlines the new role of universities in the transition from elite to mass higher education, which has become in demand due to rapid technological development.
The basic principle of the activities of universities is formulated in the Charter as follows: “The University is an autonomous, in its own way organized institution in the heart of society, which produces, evaluates, multiplies and spreads culture through scientific research and training. To meet the needs of the world, its research and educational process must be morally and intellectually independent of political and economic power . ”
The University of Bologna and the Association of European Universities established in 2000 the Supervisory Board for the observance of fundamental university values and rights, to which the Council of Europe delegated its representative. [one]
