Abstract
Although the need to increase autonomy of higher education institutions is generally recognised, there is a growing tendency for governments to interfere with university autonomy and academic freedom in certain European states in the last decade. The article is about these changing trends from a comparative, cross-country perspective focusing on certain striking examples. Our analysis shows that it is possible to find some 'common denominators' but there is no uniform trend towards university autonomy in Europe. Though higher education is a key matter for Europe, national interests and competences remain decisive in this area and the role EU governance instruments in safeguarding university autonomy still remain questionable.
