The university is an institution that goes back to the Middle
Ages. As universitas magistrorum et scholarium, the university was
a community of scholars and students gathered around books and
preoccupied with study and the search for truth. What is the role
of the university today? The meanings of teaching, study, and
research have changed. Screens are replacing books, online learning
environments are replacing lecture halls, and students are becoming
learners.
In the context of a growing emphasis on innovation and
development, competition among institutions, and the privatization
of knowledge, the role of communities of scholars and students is
changing. Some argue that the university is entering a new phase;
others claim that we face the end of the university. Curating the
European University features projects involving new ways of
publishing, alternative organizations of departments, proposals for
open access and open source, and university architecture and
accessibility; it offers a unique contribution to the public debate
on the role of the university.
