The Magna Charta Universitatum, a declaration and affirmation of the fundamental principles upon 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 must be intellectually and morally independent of all political influence and economic interests.
• The second was that teaching and research should be inseparable, with students engaged in the search for knowledge and greater understanding.
• The third principle identified the university as a site for free enquiry and debate, distinguished by its openness to dialogue and rejection of intolerance.

More than 960 universities from 94 countries have signed either or both of the Magna Charta Universitatum drafted in 1988 or in 2020.
