چکیده:
This article aims at underlining the evaluative role of university in the development process. For the first step، existential philosophy of university will be discussed from the genesis of this social institution. The discussion will be continued to the twentieth century where the role of university promoted to be considered as an engine of development in modern society and there was salient growth of demand for access to higher education. Finally، in the third millennium، the university faced the new challenges، caused by the globalization phenomena، and the process of formation of knowledge community. It seems that the role of university became manifold in impressing the new situation. Obtaining development -in its different definitions- is possible when university as the producer، distributor، promoter and publisher of knowledge، works as the autonomous wisdom of society. It can do its essential functions through enjoying academic autonomy and academic liberty.

The Role of the University in the Development Process Dr. Hamid Javdani * Abstract In this writing, which is derived from the research project titled: "Theoretical Foundations of the Economic, Social, and Cultural Necessities of Higher Education Development in Iran: Existing Deficiencies and Strategies for Their Reform," an effort has been made to address the transformative role of the university in the development process from economic, scientific-educational, and socio-cultural perspectives through an analytical review of the university's development path.
Function/fonction Introduction Although policymakers and decision-makers in the national spheres of developing countries, including Iran, acknowledge the importance and role of higher education in accelerating the development process, in practice, especially when it comes to advising governments, the industrial sector, and the intellectual life of societies and, consequently, investing in higher education, these beliefs fade.
The university, which is sometimes referred to in this writing as higher education, is, as the primary camp of science and scientific production and a place for its distribution, promotion, and dissemination, among the essential bases for training citizens who, while benefiting from the enlightenment resulting from science, awareness, and human knowledge, are introduced to wisdom and "the art of learning to be, learning to do, learning to teach, and finally, learning to live together.
And perhaps it was these three special functions and their effects on the process of economic, social, and cultural development of societies that drew attention to higher education or, in other words, the university, in this century, especially in developed countries.
