Abstract: | This article focuses on the many requests for change which the University of Belgrade, as a university in a transition country, has been facing from its foundation to the present day. Over the last decade, the University of Belgrade has had to overcome a range of difficulties in an attempt to follow European trends in reforming higher education at the institutional level. Today, it is obvious that the outcome of higher education reform will depend entirely on the academic community, which must play an active role and enter the “knowledge business”, as a prerequisite for the success of future generations of university graduates. |
