“…Under current circumstances, growing political uncertainty and risks we expect a diminishing readiness of the rather thin private venture industry to fund innovation-driven academic start-ups. The brain drain of young and mid-age university staff (Subbotin and Aref, 2021; Slepenkova, 2022) would, on the one hand, diminish the supply of new start-ups; on the other hand, the mobilisation economy (Sapir, 2022; Tsakaev, 2022) predicts the close involvement of universities with huge state-owned or affiliated military concerns (Kaysen, 1989; Kistiakowsky, 1989; Giroux, 2008; Smart, 2016), including the direct funding of related university R&D projects by semi-state military holdings. The forced cooperation of big business and universities, stimulated by the State, to deliver products and solutions to exchange the fallen imports, might open niches for some academic intrapreneurship (establishing of joint new labs, support of spin-offs within academia).…”

PurposeThis paper deals with types and actors of entrepreneurship in and around academia in Russia, as well as with institutional settings of the entrepreneurial activity of academic faculty.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on a series of semi-structured interviews using the purposive snowball method (2022–2023). The respondents are either engaged in different kinds of entrepreneurship in and outside universities in Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod or experts in entrepreneurship in and around academia.FindingsA double mixed embeddedness driven approach to the typology of diverse forms of entrepreneurship in and around academia are shown in the context of the temporality as well as of the micro-, meso- and macro-level institutions, such as the low demand in innovations in the economy; uncertainty of property rights; limited interest of university administration in academic entrepreneurs or its focus solely on students' entrepreneurship; and necessity entrepreneurship motives on the micro-level. The research limitations of the study are the small number of observations and the localisation of the panel in only one country.Research limitations/implicationsThe research limitations of the study are the small number of observations and the localisation of the panel in only one country.Practical implicationsThe “Special Military Operation” and its consequences would hinder bottom-up academic entrepreneurship in the country, while pushing universities to launch R&D with the big industry, and forcing many faculties to non-academic entrepreneurship.Originality/valueFor the first time, the broad variety of entrepreneurial activities of academic staff including the specifics of non-classical forms of entrepreneurship in and around academia and their embeddedness into different contexts are discussed.
