MAGNA CHARTA OBSERVATORY 9
2 “Europe already exists, and its people have shared one common institution
for centuries: the university. Indeed, Europeans can rally around their universities
as agents of their intellectual past and future, considering that these institutions
have common aims and common methodologies when exploring and disseminating
knowledge - be it theoretical or practical. That was the message given in 1988 at
the 900th anniversary of the University of Bologna, considered to be the oldest aca-
demic institution in Europe”. (Magna Charta presentation)
