This project aimed to create a consortium at European level in order to analyze academic entrepreneurship in Europe, focusing in particular on university spin-offs. The determinants of academic entrepreneurship are analyzed with a comparative approach, taking into consideration individual, organizational (characteristics of universities and public research centers) and environmental (institutions, regulatory framework and financial system) features.
