This article presents a series of reflections about the resignification of the substantial functions of the university: teaching, research, and engagement with society, taking into account some of the tendencies and characteristics of the society on the 21stcentury, which leads us to conceive the university activity as a multi-contextualized and changing task. In this sense, it is said that the different work forms that are developed in the scenarios of its competence, must be established on the basis of criteria such as plurality, flexibility, integration and permanent innovation.
In addition, it submits that the classroom frameworks and the self determination of the academic enclosures that in the past constituted sources and mechanisms for the diffusion of authority rules, through which they exercised the knowledge monopoly, they have entered into the inevitable decadence, conforming the new banality that succumbs before the transforming power of post-modern cognition and the irreverent activity of scientific research.
On the final lines of the article, three proposals are presented for the new configuration of the university substantial functions: the promotion of interdisciplinary work on the different dimensions of the academic culture development and transformation, the bioethics as transdisciplinary workspace, and the strengthening of the heuristic relationship between teaching, research, and the engagement with society.
