Rolul universităţilor în evoluţia procesului educaţional şi a civilizaţiei europene
The Role of Universities in the Evolution of Education and the European Civilization

Summary/Abstract: Universities are institutions of European origin: they have been established as a result of the evolution of European culture and have developed in a strong correlation with the progress and the requirements of the European cultural environment. This specific type of institutions generated higher education, expressing the peculiarities of the European community by means of their structure, curriculum, and relationship between students and teachers. Alongside other elements of European culture, higher education is being promoted across continents through universities, adapting to the specifics of the local socio-economic system and contributing to its development. European universities reflect the moments of crisis and progress in European civilization. They may be currently considered to be the source for crisis in society, but, simultaneously, at the beginning of the 21st century, they are appreciated as the most efficient and valuable resource that can ensure the evolution and the continuity of the European society. At the moment, the European continent hosts the EHEA (European Higher Education Area), whose mission is to capitalize on social capital and contribute to the prosperity of the European community by leveraging knowledge, social cohesion, and cultural diversity.
