Magna Charta Universitatum

The Magna Charta of the European Universities is the final result of the proposal addressed from the University of Bologna in 1986 to the oldest European Universities. The idea of the Magna Charta was enthusiastically accepted. During a meeting in Bologna (June 1987) the delegates of 80 European Universities elected an eight members board. The aims of this document is to celebrate the deepest values of University traditions and to encourage strong bonds among European Universities. Having the Magna Charta Universitatum an universal inspiration, any third-country University has the opportunity to join it.

The University of Foggia has recently joined the Magna Charta Consortium of Universities; this of course represents an important step forwards for the process of cooperation and the internationalization of relations. On 17th September, at Bologna University, the University of Foggia represented by its Rector Prof. Giuliano Volpe, participated to the Ceremony of the Signature of the Magna Charta Universitatum.
