How entrepreneurial are European universities? Perhaps more than is generally realised. What are the factors that encourage entrepreneurialism to flourish in research, technology transfer, teaching, regional engagement and internationalization? How do different kinds of HEIs -, comprehensive, specialist, regional or private -, address these issues? What are the conditions which stimulate or inhibit the "academic entrepreneur"? And in what forms does entrepreneurialism contribute to the knowledge economy?
