Description
Summary:With a history dating back more than a century, the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (further on also referred to as ASE) is passing through a stage when its institutional maturity and its valuable contribution to the Romanian higher education system are widely acknowledged. On the other hand, the university is currently facing the challenges characteristic of these turbulent times, when numerous factors are generating uncertainty about both the present and the future. Within such a context, the concerns related to understanding the specific trends that characterise the evolution of a university and to designing sustainable development strategies are naturally intertwined with a genuine interest in the history of the institution. Undoubtebly, the past academic experience and events cannot be brought back to life and mechanically integrated into the current university practices, but they can help us better assess the present and future opportunities and risks, identify ways and means to surpass the challenges of the present and welcome the future with a proactive attitude. An analysis of the institutional history can be an invaluable source of wisdom when dealing with the challenges of the present and the uncertainties of the future.
