The present Article provides an overview of the ECtHR’s case-law on academic freedom. Based on the analysis of this case-law, the Article argues the ECtHR currently views academic freedom as a value-based principle rather than an individual right. As such, academic freedom normally appears to guide the ECtHR when it deals with rights and freedoms, enshrined in the ECHR, in the academic context and when it is called upon to interpret the ECHR in this context. Even though, the role of academic freedom is non negligible in the law of the ECHR and the ECtHR has laid down at least some standards concerning the guarantees of academic freedom in the Contracting States.
