EXTRACT OF THE PREFACE This book shines a spotlight on the challenges facing universities at the start of the 21st century. It is addressed to the leaders of universities, to the political authorities who support and control them, and to the companies, foundations and benefactors with whom they work. The book is also addressed to all those who would like to become better acquainted with the world of the university, its role, its responsibilities and the way it operates, whether they are already members of the university community or are planning to join it. The political, economic, demographic, social, scientific and technological changes which have transformed the world since the end of the Second World War, and in particular since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, have been so profound and so rapid that no individual and no institution can avoid them, not even universities. It is true that history tells us that the world has always been in a state of flux but the speed of change has accelerated rapidly, and the number of different changes we are going through today is quite simply revolutionary. In today’s world, individuals and institutions are expected to be innovative and flexible, in order to adapt to an environment which continues to evolve rapidly. Universities, however, are generally conservative institutions, even if they have shown over the centuries that they........ However, in an increasingly knowledge-based society, the need for new knowledge is such that obsolete institutions are inevitably replaced by others, either of a similar or different profile, and in particular by large, private, global, profit-seeking corporations. Such an evolution should not be taken lightly, given that these new institutions do not defend the same values of universal knowledge which traditional universities have upheld for centuries. The defence of these values has not only underpinned the universities’ reputation and renown, it has also ensured that they are best placed to push back the frontiers of knowledge for the benefit of everyone and to help humanity, in its broadest sense, resolve the serious challenges which it faces today. All universities worldwide, irrespective of their mission or quality, are influenced by these major changes......

......."The university is one of the greatest inventions of the present millennium: although created more than nine centuries ago, it remains one of the glories of human aspiration and one of the triumphs of the power of imagination. We, as members of its community of learning, challenge it to play a transforming role in society, and thus to transform itself* .....
