Czech Republic ranks first in new research on university independence

A new study based on the V-Dem academic freedom index and Our World in Data assesses the level of independence of universities and scholars in countries around the world. According to the results, the Czech Republic is ranked first. Over the past decade, it has been noted that academic freedom indices have declined in 50 countries. This situation makes the issue of freedom and independence in the academic environment even more pressing. Detailed information about the study has not yet been provided, but the changes are very serious.
