Este libro es fruto del trabajo y colaboración de muchas personas que hicieron posible la celebración del congreso Building Universities´ Reputation, ocurrido en la Universidad de Navarra (España) los días 22, 23 y 24 de abril de 2015.Actualmente, uno de los pilares sobre los que se asienta la aceptación de la universidad como institución social, educativa y generadora de conocimiento, es la reputación. La reputación de una universidad, o de cualquier otra institución de educación superior, es en última instancia un emblema de su aceptación entre los diversos grupos de interés: compañeros, expertos, estudiantes y padre de familia, organismos de financiación, medios de comunicación, empresarios, organizaciones profesionales e internacionales, etc.A lo largo de sus páginas, académicos de universidades con proyección internacional y expertos del sector han reflexionado sobre el origen, las características y, sobre todo, el alcance institucional, económico, social- de la reputación de las universidades.Siguiendo la tradición de los trabajos universitarios, al final del libro encontraremos unas conclusiones donde se enumeran y condensan las ideas más relevantes de este Reputación de universidades.
