The President of Alfred Nobel University together with the rectors of the world's leading universities signed the updated version of Magna Charta Universitatum (MCU 2020). Alfred Nobel University has become a part of global event and has joined the world's leading universities to strengthen its role in society for the next generation. 

The Magna Charta Universitatum, a declaration and affirmation of the fundamental principles upon which the mission of universities should be based, was signed in 1998 on the occasion of the 900th anniversary of the University of Bologna. The signatory universities, including Alfred Nobel University, are committed to adhering to the Declaration and to promoting the values and the principles to strengthen the role of higher education institutions for sustainable development and prosperity throughout the world
