The Magna Charta Universitatum, which promotes, declares and reaffirms the fundamental principles on 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 proclaimed in the Charta was the principle of independence: in its research and teaching activities, the university should have intellectual and moral independence from the political influence and economic interests of the government. The second principle is that teaching and research should be inseparable, and students should be involved in the process of seeking knowledge and understanding it better. According to the third principle, the university is a platform for free research and debate, distinguished by its openness to dialogue and rejection of intolerance.

Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design, demonstrating to the academic community the status of a member of the Magna Charta Universitatum since 2018 and a signatory to the University Action Programme 2020 on the global commitment to promote and support academic excellence, institutional autonomy, the link between teaching and research, social responsibility and core values, invites the university to join the university community that seeks to continuously and consistently improve the future of higher education in the world and sign the MCU-2020!

By signing the Magna Charta 2020, universities declare their commitment to the original declaration and aim to uphold and promote the Principles, Values and Commitments set out therein, in order to strengthen the role of universities in preserving the planet, promoting health, prosperity and education worldwide.
