Object: The following universities sharing values of Christian Humanism wish to join forces to enhance their cooperation through exchanges of professors and students, research projects, publications, conferences and meetings.

The association is a forum for reflection, discussion and proposals leading to concrete projects and offering opportunities to develop and promote education in the context of Christian humanism.

The association will also initiate proposals for each member state of the European Union in the field of private Higher education and engage in such actions that may encourage contributions of national and international institutions.

Founding Members: The Association was founded on 12/11/2008 in Paris, and the founding members are:
- Austria: Internationales Theologisches Institut
- France: the members of UNFL (http://www.unfl.fr)
- Tchekie: Cevro Institute
- Spain: Abat Oliba

The Universities of San Pablo, Madrid and Valencia (Spain) have agreed to become members in 2009.

Status: non-profit association with headquarters in Paris

Financing: each member establishment will contribute a modest sum to finance a light coordinating structure. Specific actions (meetings, publications…) should be financed after approval and on a specific budget.

The association will organize in 2012 a conference on “Civil Society and Higher Private Education in Europe”.
