Magna Charta Universitatum Observatory is a signatories’ association, independent from political organisations or interest groups.

The signatory universities – through their rectors, presidents and vice-chancellors, who act on behalf of their institutions – are connected to the organization by their commitment, present and future, to comply with the principles of the Magna Charta Universitatum.

The Magna Charta Universitatum is a document that was originally signed by 388 rectors and heads of universities from all over Europe and beyond on 18 September 1988, the 900th anniversary of the University of Bologna. It contains principles of academic freedom and institutional autonomy as a guideline for good governance and self-understanding of universities in the future.

The Observatory undertakes its work to ensure the integrity of intellectual and scientific work in Institutions and society, thus reinforcing trust in relationship between universities and their communities, be they local, regional, national or global.

According to the latest data from the Magna Charta Observatory website, nowadays 30 Ukrainian higher educational institutions have membership in the Magna Charta Universitatum. At the end of 2020, Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University became the signatory of the Magna Charta Universitatum.
