Abstract: Faced with the certainty or the sensation of danger or weakness, the instinctive reaction is to withdraw into ourselves. This need to protect ourselves is common to all living things, from the small hedgehog to the most highly developed society. The former seeks shelter behind its spines; the latter, behind physical or mental barriers. Even universities can feel paralysed by distrust and doubt and may resort to the reflex action of isolating themselves from the world, of seeking certainty in what is known, of rejecting risk. But that would be a mistake. As Professor Castells highlighted in his inaugural lecture, organized by the UOC to mark the start of the Catalan university system's 2017/2018 academic year, only when we open ourselves to the world do we achieve a real social impact in terms of transcendence and service to society.
