MCU Student Essay Competition
The 1988 and 2020 versions of the Magna Charta Universitatum emphasize the significant role of students in universities. The Magna Charta Observatory (MCO), which has student representatives on its governing council, aims to enhance student involvement in universities and increase its effectiveness. To achieve this goal, the MCO, in partnership with Global Students Forum and the European Students’ Union, is launching an essay competition for students. The competition seeks to gather ideas from students on how they can exert greater influence in enabling their universities to make a more impactful contribution to society.
There will be 5 prizes of expenses paid participation (including travel and accommodation costs) in the MCO’s 2023 Anniversary Conference which will be held from 23 – 25 October in Lodz, Poland at which the winners will present their essays and participate in discussions with an international audience. The competition will be launched at an MCO webinar on 4 May 2023. The competition is open to registered students in any university in any country. The closing date for the submission of essays is 12 June 2023. The winners will be announced on 28 July 2023.
