COPERNICUS, the "COoperation Programme in Europe for Research on Nature and Industry through Coordinated University Studies" was launched by CRE, the predecessor of the European Universities Association EUA, in 1988.
Today COPERNICUS is an independent organization with a close link to EUA. The target is to involve committed European universities into this European network to share the knowledge and expertise in the field of sustainable development. Furthermore, COPERNICUS encourages partnerships of universities with industry and management.
The main instrument for furthering this commitment on part of universities is the COPERNICUS University Charter for Sustainable Development, drawn up in 1993 as a follow-up to the CRE€s Urgent Appeal presented at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio.
By 2003, the charter had been signed by more than 300 universities in Europe to date. The constantly growing number of COPERNICUS universities constitutes an excellent perspective for the future development of the network.
