ABSTRACT: In today's society, characterized by a continuous process of globalization and
knowledge-based economy, intellectual property is the central resource that creates the real
value in all sectors of economic life. In this context, higher education's mission is to provide
the highest quality standard representing a main actor in providing highly skilled workforce
and creating knowledge. Thus, we say that to meet the new challenges that universities is need
to go through the stages of a process of reform and adaptation, in line with the Lisbon
Strategy.
Consequently, our approach is to put in the foreground the need to create a new system of
higher education to meet the new demands of society.

Keywords: higher education quality reform, knowledge management education.
