Henry Etzkowitz, the professor of Stanford University, the author of ‘’Triple Helix’’ and ‘’entrepreneurial university’’ concepts inspired this workshop.

This hands-on workshop is aimed at elaborating the entrepreneurial university certification methodology and sub rating these universities in present international ratings. The representatives of universities of Austria, Brazil, China, Finland, the Netherlands, the USA and Russia gathered to discuss these issues.

Two-day workshop resulted in detailed definition of an ‘’entrepreneurial university’’ and led to development of several groups of indicators for universities’ progress estimation.

‘’Our next target is joint advancement of this methodology. We also want to send different grant proposals for the development of entrepreneurial university metrics. We will share and research the case studies available. In prospect we would like to apply these indexes to international university ranking systems,’’ says Mr. Bikkulov.
