Academic freedom is a universal right and essential to quality education, teaching and research. It is a driver of innovation, enhances the capacity of scholars and students to acquire and generate knowledge, and thereby protects societies’ capacity for self-reflection. While states and universities throughout the world have long committed to respecting and protecting academic freedom, it remains poorly understood – and is under attack in many places.

The STOA high-level conference on Academic Freedom in Europe will invite all relevant institutional stakeholders and academia to discuss how to enforce the protection of academic freedom in the EU. The European Parliament’s President Roberta Metsola will launch the new STOA initiative ‘EP Forum for Academic Freedom’ that plans to produce a truly independent report, an annual Academic Freedom Monitor.
