Third Stream, Fourth Mission: Perspectives on University Engagement with Economic Relevance

“…Regardless of country, entrepreneurship education is supported by entrepreneurship centres, which have become increasingly common features at universities and colleges since the late 1990s (Bowers et al, 2006;Finkle et al, 2006Finkle et al, , 2012Achleitner et al, 2007;NIRAS, 2008).
