Charles University
The oldest university in central Europe, Charles University was founded in 1348 by Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia. An institution of major academic and cultural importance in the region since its founding, Charles University has endured the repression of both Nazi and Communist occupations. The appointment of new representatives of a free academic community was legalized in 1990, marking a new beginning of a systematic effort to remove the 40-year-old inheritance of deformation in the life of the university as an academic institution. Charles University has been a partner of The Fund for American Studies in sponsoring the American Institute on Political and Economic Systems since 1993.
