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.

Implications for theory and practice include the most pressing challenges for universities involved in their transitions towards an entrepreneurial configuration UR - https://doi.org/10.1142/S0219877016400125 ER -
