Abstract

Since their development in the Middle Ages, universities have been inseparable from societies they operated in. However in different historical periods, the primate has been given to different missions. Besides teaching and research as basic missions of universities, the third mission of universities implies the relationship between universities and the society. This paper is dealing with social changes that lead to opening universities towards external environment. Starting from the standpoint that the third mission of universities consists of two dimensions: societal and civic, as well as economic dimension that should be equal, this paper has the objective to consider a development perspective of the third mission of universities in Serbia, with a special accent on societal and civic dimension. This objective has been implemented in two tasks: the first one defines the third mission and analyzes the international project that is currently in process, Institutional framework for development of the third mission of universities in Serbia. The second task consists of comparisons of two paradigms through which the third mission of universities can be realized, as follows: community service contrary to community engagement. As a conclusion, it is stated that there are fundamentals for actualization of studies on the third mission of universities in Serbia. However, there has been noticed a bigger focus on commercial and economic dimension in comparison to societal and civic ones.
