Title: Quin futur té la Universitat? Vint visions sobre la Universitat a Catalunya
Abstract: EnglishWhat is the future of the University? Twenty insights into the University in Catalonia [JOSEP GALLIFA i FRANCESC PEDRO] The university, as one of the fundamental institutions in advanced societies, is in the throes of change. The transformation undergone by our society over the last twenty years, often accelerated, although not always, has prompted the authors, both of them university heads of department and co-authors of the book What is the future of the University? Twenty insights into the University in Catalonia, to reflect upon the future of the university in our country. The departure point for this analysis are the mid-eighties, which saw the transfer of powers in university affairs. Over these years, demographic trends were reversed, with a fall in the population, accompanied by a proliferation and decentralisation of universities all over the place. It is true that the challenges, problems and opportunities are not the same now as they were twenty years ago. The article is mainly based on the diagnosis made by the Ministers for Universities or those holding similar posts, who were responsible for the university system in Catalonia between 1985 and 2001, and all the rectors of Catalan universities, public and private alike. catalaQuin futur te la Universitat? Vint visions sobre la Universitat a Catalunya [JOSEP GALLIFA i FRANCESC PEDRO] La universitat, com una de les institucions fonamentals a les societats avancades, es troba en un moment de canvi. La transformacio que ha viscut la nostra societat en els darrers vint anys, a vegades molt accelerada i altres no tant, fa que els autors, tots dos catedratics d'universitat i coautors del llibre Quin futur te la Universitat? Vint visions sobre la Universitat a Catalunya, s'interroguin sobre el futur de la Universitat a casa nostra. El punt de partida d'aquesta analisi es a mitjans dels anys vuitanta, quan comenca tot el traspas de competencies en materia universitaria. Al llarg d'aquests anys, s'ha invertit la tendencia demografica cap a un decreixement de la poblacio i hi ha hagut una proliferacio i descentralitzacio d'universitats a tot arreu. Certament, els reptes, problemes i oportunitats no son els mateixos ara que vint anys enrere. L'article es fonamenta, en bona part, en la diagnosi que fan els Consellers d'universitats o assimilats, que han tingut la responsabilitat del sistema universitari a Catalunya des del 1985 fins a 2001, i tots els Rectors de les universitats catalanes, publiques i privades.
