Summary/Abstract: Th e paper tries to map some of the issues that contemporary universities face within the significantly changed coordinates of altered realities of contemporary societies. Deeper understanding and analysis of the specific position of the University and its relationship with the social environment is important because it can provide valuable information about the possible development directions of both society and the universities themselves. At this moment, the quality of their relationship is disturbed. On one side it endangers the survival of the university as we know it, and on the other it abolishes serious social dialogue on development directions and the future of contemporary societies. The most significant reason for such situation is university’s voluntarily self exclusion from that dialog.
