Magna Charta Universitatum

On 16 September, rector Gitte Adler Reimer signed Magna Charta Universitatum - and Ilisimatusarfik is now a proud co-signatory of an organisation of prominent universities.

Magna Charta Universitatum is a document signed in Bologna, Italy, that explicitly defines key principles underpinning the existence of universities - such as academic freedom and institutional autonomy with a values-based approach to work.

In the days leading up to the ceremony, the Magna Charta Observatory hosted a conference themed "Universities engaging with society in turbulent times", which was attended by rector Gitte Adler Reimer and assistant professor Qivioq Løvstrøm.
