We live at the time of quick changes and big possibilities. There are many roads but few signs in front of us. That is why, besides the technologists “builders” we also need social technologists, who are able to manage the extremely complicated system of traffic on the roads built. This is the specific character and special mission of the Higher School of Social technologies.
(J. Zakis, rektor)
