SOUSA, José Vieira de. Scenerys and Challenges of the University in the Knowledge Economy. Rev. Int. Educ. Super. [online]. 2022, vol.8, e022014.  Epub 12-Ago-2022. ISSN 2446-9424.  https://doi.org/10.20396/riesup.v8i0.8663806.

In this article, scenarios and challenges of the university in the knowledge economy are analyzed, considering their insertion in the broader field of higher education formed by the plurality of actors and institutions interested in its dynamics. The notion of field formulated by Pierre Bourdieu is an important theoretical and methodological construct for the analysis of higher education in contemporary society. Historically, the university has revealed itself as a gateway and a privileged space to build paths and solutions to challenges presented, over time, to society. In the globalized world, the university operates in a field of uncertainties and contradictions, at the same time as it constitutes an indisputable component for the development of the countries' political project. In the competitive contemporary higher education, the concept of world-class universities has been disputed and built based on global standards and criteria directly associated with the classifications made by international rankings.

Palabras clave : Higher education; University; Knowledge economy; World-class universities; International rankings.
