Summary/Abstract: Establishment of an international center for social work as a strategic goal for the EU region puts the needs of people (civil society, the direct carriers of social work activities, experts, governmental and profitable sector) at the center of development and international cooperation between both developed countries and countries in transition. Through an integrated database (joint research, publications, lectures and practical experiences, multiculturalism, study tours, educational system, program accreditation, education, etc.) it relativizes the conflicting development goals, minimizes the uncertainty in terms of development goals planning, maximizes the social benefit, sets tasks and priorities of the strategic plans (from national to global), envisages measures and activities based on scientific expertise and elaborates. Concreteness and the principle of active participation follow the concept: “Are we on the right track?” The arena of social knowledge creates the conditions for a new definition of social work and the authenticity of the profession.
