Challenges for instilling entrepreneurial mindset in scientists and engineers : what works in European universities?/ created by Guistina Secundo, Valentina Ndou and Pasquale Del Vecchio - International journal of innovation and technology management Volume 13, number 5 .

The development of entrepreneurial mindsets in graduated students with science and engineering backgrounds represents an emerging priority for the higher education systems. However, this dimension is still in infancy, especially in Europe. Aimed to contribute at this debate, the study provides evidences on how European universities are approaching this goal. Based on a cross-case analysis of 22 post-graduated programs, the study explores the emerging trends and the “invariance” traits adopted to develop high qualified human capital with an entrepreneurial mindset. Implications for theory and practice include the most pressing challenges for universities involved in their transitions towards an entrepreneurial configuration.
