Why is it important?
Such updated literature on the theoretical and methodologic approaches used for assessing the impact of Universities, most notably, Entrepreneurial Universities contributes to fill in a gap in the extant literature as, to the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive literature review exists on this topic.
Perspectives
It gives special attention to the potential impacts of universities' technology transfer and entrepreneurship activities on regional competitiveness, considering the ongoing transformation process of universities towards a ‘regional engaged entrepreneurial university' model.
