Abstract. Throughout this paper, we present the observations and conclusions of our research that is both conceptual and pragmatic. As the title suggests, our research focuses on the new roles of universities in the knowledge economy. Since their beginning, universities have been scientific, cultural and moral landmarks for society and even today they have the mission of stimulating a social and economic progress in society. We start the presentation of the research by emphasizing the correlations between the new understanding of the knowledge concept and the functioning of the university. We consider that knowledge represents a strategic resource for universities and also the main resource used in all its organizational processes and has great impact on the final products and services that the university delivers for its stakeholders and finally for the whole society. In the second section of the paper we discuss the strategic roles that the universities play in society. Though we consider that the primordial role of the university is to educate students and to contribute to the scientific knowledge of the world, today universities integrate more and diverse responsibilities which represent new dynamics capabilities. Within the third section of the paper we approach the problem of the intellectual capital which we consider also as a strategic component of universities and with great potential for their prosperity. The discussion regarding the impact of the intellectual capital is particularly important due to the presentation of the novel entropic model of intellectual capital. In the final part of the paper we analyze and argue the most recently announced challenges and high perspectives for the universities world-wide and we present our concluding remarks. Keywords: knowledge economy, universities, knowledge strategies, innovation strategies, intellectual capital, an entropic model of intellectual capital. Correlations between knowledge and universitiesUniversities have always been scientific, cultural and moral symbols for social communities. The perspectives, the preoccupations, the activities and the goals of universities have greatly changed in time and thus have their roles and strategies. Nowadays universities are viewed as knowledge providers, as innovation facilitators, as promoters of entrepreneurial talent, 252 | Ruxandra BEJINARU Universities in the Knowledge Economy as economic and civic leaders and mostly as knowledge pioneers (Bejinaru & Prelipcean, 2017).Still today in the society's collective representation, the University is symbolically placed between being a place of worship (like a church) and being a marketplace (a supermarket) (Barnett, 2000). In the light of the first perspective, the university is a temple of knowledge, with often a tower as a focal point. It is usually directed by a Rector, a word that also has a religious meaning. The students are associated to novices who are going to be initiated into the mysteries of knowledge. Professors have the role of priests and teach ex-cath...

In the current economic context, innovation is seen as a result of interactions between different actors of innovative systems. Through this work we aimed to illustrate the fact that fulfilling the third mission of the modern university, contributing to economic and social development is possible only by anchoring it in a new model that includes variables identified in the scientific literature. Anchoring the modern university in an adaptive strategy based on the orientation towards collaboration for permanent research and innovation is the key to competitiveness in the European economy. Achieving the European goals on the development of a smart, sustainable economy and favorable to the inclusion is possible through the involvement of the university in partnership founded on mutual interests and benefits in innovative systems where graduates have professional, scientific research and social skills to integrate quickly and effectively in the labor market and academics put in value their capabilities in research-developmentinnovation area.
