Abstract Academic freedom is a central value of higher education. It affects the academic profession in all aspects of academic work. Yet, academic freedom is rarely discussed in the context of changes taking place in higher education in the current period. The concept is defined in ahistorical and comparative framework, and the challenges facing academic freedom around the world are discussed. (HRK / Abstract übernommen)
