In September 2018, the Abdullah Gül University (AGU) was approved to become an official signatory of the Magna Charta Universitatum, the “Great Charter of Universities” which lays down the “fundamental values and principles of the university” and “[encourages] strong bonds among European Universities”.
“It contains principles of academic freedom and institutional autonomy as a guideline for good governance and self-understanding of universities in the future.”
Abdullah Gül University Rector, Prof. Dr. İhsan Sabuncuoğlu officially signed the Charter on behalf of the University, during the Ceremony in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Signature of the Magna Charta Universitatum, held in Salamanca, Spain. More information on the signing ceremony can be found here.
