University of Oradea, Actor in Cross-Border Cooperation at the Romanian – Hungarian Border (2000–2018)

Summary/Abstract: Higher education institutions in many parts of Europe are in a changing stratus. First due to their inability to respond quickly to the rapid changes in society, generated by globalization and the fourth industrial revolution. Other causes that most universities face are acute lack of funding, problems with maintaining the quality of research and education, changing generations of teachers and researchers. In such circumstances, the need to identify alternative sources for financing education and research becomes more and more prominent, which gives the university a new function, that of "bridge" between the global flows of knowledge, science and technology, on the one hand and the local needs of economic development, on the other hand. The case study presented in this paper start by looking at data from specialized literature, in order to establish the theoretical framework on the evolution of the role played by universities in the global context created by the four industrial revolutions. Next, we shall identify the role and degree of involvement of the University of Oradea in the development of cross-border cooperation between Romania and Hungary, one of the mechanisms.
