hroughout the centuries universities have undergone a process of continuous change from institutions focusing on the education of the “élite” to organisations providing education for “masses”, in the context of increased demand for enhancing quality and ever dwindling financial resources.
Actual reality in conjunction with perspectives of education and the continuos growth of the educational offer compel universities all over the world to commit themselves to tough competition and demonstrate pragmatism and high quality academic management in order to survive.
The university is the flag bearer of the society; it coagulates the community and identifies itself as the objective pole of all social, cultural and economic processes taking place in both the internal and the external environment. Hence, the university will always be the barometer of the whole development of the modern, knowledge-based society, a process in which academic solidarity and a wide range of partnerships provide the adequate framework for scientific, economic and social progress together with enhancing academic autonomy and responsibility.
Knowledge as a fundamental outcome of the educational process is based on scientific research, the essential condition for renewal and progress. The spiritual patron of our university, Lucian Blaga, stated in one of his aphorisms that “knowledge is about wondering and dis-wondering”, therefore knowledge is the natural result of quest and discovery. The better able a university is to increase the pace of “wondering” and “dis-wondering”, the wider the amount of knowledge acquired, the faster the process of academic renewal.
These are the guidelines of action for all our academia in view of affirming and reaffirming the role of the “Lucian Blaga” University in the wide academic world.
