Noi provocări ale cercetării la începutul secolului XXI

Abstract

The research represents the active area of science, as a thinking model that responds to new challenges through the competitive search for innovative solutions to current issues in several ways: the global availability and veracity of scientific sources, the configuration of priority fields, the reconfiguration of traditional fields, etc. The scientific component is increasingly linked to the emergence of the informational, communicational and computational paradigm. The context of systemic polycrises at the beginning of the 21st century of different type has energized and revolutionized some fields and revealed specific issues in different spheres and regions. These fundamental mutations are also a turning point for rethinking and building the intelligent future of education and research. The dangerous scenarios of the 21st century, during which catastrophes, bio-terrorism and wars continue, impose the need for constant innovation, regular paradigm shifts, globalization of research efforts, technological capacity and securing resources in different fields, which is a gateway to a new laboratory of the spirit. We are in the presence of a global innovation, the integration of man and the social body in the universe of science. Today the development of research, which involves the interaction of soft/human (itarian) sciences with hard/exact ones, is seconded by the “moralization”/confrontation/normalization of the relations between these fields. Only the coagulated synergies of the active and the passive approach can capture the evolution of the research and education approach in its fundamental complexity. We are convinced that the dialogue of our ideas and knowledge can lead to a high academic endeavor, in the true sense of universitas.
