About Us

The Observatory of University Ethics is an independent initiative dedicated to defending the fundamental values ​​of the university and promoting higher education that respects the principles of ethics, secularism and academic freedom. We are committed to preserving a university where the search for truth, free intellectual debate and the transmission of knowledge are exercised in a rigorous and impartial framework.

 

To achieve these goals, we:

  • Let us individually support teachers, researchers and students faced with attacks on academic freedom or ideological pressure, through advice, expertise and targeted actions;
  • Let us conduct in-depth investigations into ideological deviations, attacks on scientific neutrality and ethical issues that undermine the university, by publishing rigorous and documented reports;
  • Let us inform and raise awareness among the general public, institutions and political decision-makers about issues related to university ethics, in particular through analyses, debates and publications accessible to all.

 

These three axes – individual support, analytical research and public awareness – structure our action and allow us to defend a university at the service of knowledge and society.
