Summary/Abstract: The concept of culture is understood broadly, encompassing knowledge, values, behaviors, artifacts, and social meanings, which shapes diverse perspectives on the university’s role in culture. Universities are seen both as preservers of national cultural heritage and as innovative, critical institutions that challenge traditions and contribute to societal progress, especially in transitional societies like Serbia. The academic community recognizes tensions between conserving tradition and embracing innovation, with debates on how universities balance their cultural responsibilities amid globalization and shifting social values.
