The literature on entrepreneurial universities focuses on the close collaboration between academia, industry and government, and on the contribution of tertiary level education to society and the economy. Little attention has been paid to the role of teaching in developing the entrepreneurial university, despite the active research on entrepreneurship education. In addressing this research gap, this paper provides a theoretical discussion of the role of teaching in this context. The authors suggest that the challenges are connected primarily to issues of content and pedagogy, depending on the tasks and the university setting.
