Uczelnia nowej generacji – redefinicja instytucjonalna uczelni
A new generation of university – institutional redefinition of the university

Summary/Abstract: The institution of university, which is occurring in its present form, faces many constraints andproblems. The main reason of it being numerous changes in its functioning environment (educational andeconomic policy, educational services market competition etc.). The most important of these problemsis the de-institutionalization of the research mission and the concentration on didactic process, the orientationof the institution on the quantitative indicators on which the state funding mechanisms have beenbased, the reduction of the rigor of academic culture and the conservatism of the university environmentand unwillingness to make changes. As a solution to these problems comes the vision of a next-generationuniversity – a modern university that is constantly evolving and striving to excellence. It is an intelligentorganization, subordinated to knowledge, which operates in a hybrid model and adopts the best characteristicsof classical and entrepreneurial models of university. It is a re-institutionalized institution thatrein-institutionalizes the research mission and achieves balance between academic and didactic missions,revises academic attitudes, norms and behaviors and the has the ability to quickly adapt to the changingneeds and expectations of the environment and performs its mission in efficient and effective way. Beyondthe two above-mentioned missions of higher education, there is an important “third mission”, whichenables the development of academic entrepreneurship, increases the autonomy of the university, andplays an important role in social and economic development.
