Issued by participants of the Third meeting of Carpathian's Region Rectors
Miskolc, Hungary, April 2-4, 1995
On April 2-4 1995 the representatives of 16 universities of the Association of Carpathian Region Universities met in Miskolc, Hungary. They considered the cooperation exhibited by this conference useful and important. They expressed their willingness to facilitate cooperation among the member institutions as well as with other regional and international institutions.
The members of the Association approved a membership fee of 750$ per university per year, contingent upon the registration of the Association of Carpathian Region Universities as a nongovermental organization (NGO). They recognise that the membership fee if necessary has to be approved by University Academic Senate. Each member of the Association will search for funding to cover this fee from internal and external sources. An auditing committee will be formed at the next Meeting of Rectors to oversee the financial position of the Association.
