Summary/Abstract: The global economic crisis, which started in 2008, and the effects of globalization, along with the information revolution – which have all swiftly gained in influence since the 2000s – have changed in a major way the position of the world of academia. With an intensifying of financial difficulties, state intervention in the life of higher education institutions has become strengthened, whilst relentless global competition has led to a predominant position for business attitudes in the fields of education and research. In the course of discussions concerning higher education, the subjects of institutional autonomy and academic freedom have come to the forefront. The European University Association and the Magna Charta Observatory of Fundamental University Rights and Values are seeking European ways of operating to ward off dangers and to put an end to conflicts.
