Autonomy, public commitment, critical force, trans-disciplinarity and openness to other knowledge constitute the notions that organize the problematic vision of this article on today's university. Argumentative logic structures these matters sequentially, analyzing the diffi culties and challenges that contemporary universities face today within a market context, of weakening of its public role and of the diversity of knowledge struggling for recognition. Th ese referential notions are discussed as central components of a broad normative framework for today's universities. Th ese are elements that would contribute to facing the university challenges in a vulnerable and fi nancially besieged continent, of trans-nationalization, weakening management of its natural resources, technological dependence, weak democracies, multiple inequalities and increasing processes of discontent and social demands.
