Mission
Following the guidelines of the Apostolic Constitution on Higher Education,
Ex Corde Ecclesiae, the purpose of the association is defined as follows:
- To serve as a forum for member institutions
- To reflect on how they
put into practice the ideals of a Catholic university as expressed by
Ex Corde Ecclesiae and other official documents of the Church.
- To ascertain
whether they have correctly defined and continuously maintained their
identity as Catholic schools.
- To dialog freely and at the highest levels
and to share resources among themselves and with other educational institutions
and governments both internationally and in their own countries, in their
common quest for academic excellence.
- To discuss how they can dialog
with educational institutions belonging to other religious traditions.
