More than a history of one institution, the book offers a deep reflection on the role of the university in a world facing a crisis of rationality. The volume is divided into three parts. The first presents messages from international supporters of EHU. The second explores the mission of the university and the humanities through contributions by John Sallis, Anatoli Mikhailov, Jeremy Adelman, Jeffrey Barash, Vittorio Hösle, and others. The third part looks ahead, focusing on EHU’s role and future direction. Addressing the global challenges to education and humanistic thought, the monograph poses a timely and universal question: Quo vadis, university?

Contemporary society is undergoing radical transformations in almost all aspects of social life. The
key driver of these changes is cutting-edge technology, which shapes the everyday lives of people
through various digital formats. Accordingly, communication practices are increasingly influenced
by generative technologies that not only transform content creation methods but also challenge
traditional notions of authorship, trust, and the creative process. Artificial intelligence is becoming
an active participant in information and educational spaces, impacting journalism, social media,
and pedagogical practices. This collection of scientific articles aims to foster an interdisciplinary
understanding of these changes, discussing their implications and future prospects. The articles are
based on reports presented by the authors at the International Scientific Conference “The Future of
Communication Practices: Generative Technologies, Culture, and Media” (September 11-12, 2025,
Vilnius, Lithuania)
