Forum: The Idea of University

Abstract

This Forum gathers reflections offered by professors and students following the Seminar on The Idea of the University. Drawing upon the first academic year of the Sophia University Institute, the contributions explore the university as a community of teaching, learning and research, where dialogue among disciplines, cultures and persons fosters the pursuit of wisdom and the integration of knowledge and life. Together they highlight the formative value of reciprocal relationships, intercultural exchange and shared academic inquiry in shaping a renewed vision of higher education.
