Research on Opportunities, Competences and Knowledge at Entrepreneurial Universities - ROCK-EU

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2023-596

 
Description of research activity:
In a socio-economic context marked by uncertainty, it is more urgent than ever to develop applied research that promotes entrepreneurial activity as an axis of sustainable economic development, a source of job generation, technological innovation and well-being for citizens. The role, therefore, of the university to stimulate co-creation, knowledge transfer and the structuring of active and dynamic innovation networks is crucial. In this sense, the work carried out by this research group, both conceptually and empirically and experimentally, seeks to provide social agents and policy makers with proven facts for making informed decisions. In this way, the promotion of open science, essential for transferring research results to society through effective communication, becomes especially relevant. This research group focuses on university entrepreneurship as a social phenomenon, from a micro perspective, analysing entrepreneurial initiative at the individual level of university students and staff; at the meso level, studying the institutional entrepreneurship of universities through structures, centres and support networks; and at the macro level, focusing on entrepreneurial...In a socio-economic context marked by uncertainty, it is more urgent than ever to develop applied research that promotes entrepreneurial activity as an axis of sustainable economic development, a source of job generation, technological innovation and well-being for citizens.

To this end, this group collaborates with other researchers who work in entrepreneurship, with the support areas for entrepreneurs at universities, with the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and through European projects and in the FIT Forthem and Forthem alliances of which the University of Valencia is a part.

Research lines:
  • The entrepreneur.To identifiy opportunities to generate business ideas for students and teachers, as well as the requirements to carry them out.
  • The university as an entrepreneurial pole.To study how the university, through its centres, research structures and entrepreneurship units, can promote, streamline and consolidate entrepreneurship processes.
  • The entrepreneurial nation.To analyse the role of national policies and other factors in the promotion of entrepreneurial activity at different territorial levels.
  • Entrepreneurship support networks.To explore the multidisciplinary and cross-cutting innovation networks in which different entrepreneurial agents find themselves, as well as the role of the university as a key agent and guarantor of these networks.
  • Open science.To assist the transfer of work and results from researchers to society.
