Summary/Abstract: The third function of the university, the social one, that of a critical and awareness body of the community, leads universities to carry out various actions to fulfill this role. Be it about the local, regional, national, international, or even the virtual community, the way in which universities connect with society, contributing to the development of their learning communities is widely diverse and analyzed in detail. We will analyze the involvement of the university in the community from multiple perspectives, along the three identity axes of the university (educational, research, social), as well as illustrate how this approach can be adopted, using as example the case studied, the West University of Timisoara.
