This PDW focuses on the multifaceted realm of intrapreneurship within university settings. In contrast to conventional views, intrapreneurship in academia extends beyond established frameworks, embodying a dynamic fusion of entrepreneurial activities within the academic landscape. Recognizing academics as capable intrapreneurs, this workshop explores how they can leverage novel ideas and opportunities to enrich their academic contributions and, subsequently, enhance their professional capacities and prospects. While existing studies have touched upon intrapreneurial capabilities in areas such as remote education, employee commitment, and behaviors in the university setting, the broader context of intrapreneurship within academia remains largely unexplored. Our PDW aims to bridge this gap by fostering insightful discussions on embedding intrapreneurial mindsets within university management teams and cultivating an intrapreneurial identity among students and researchers. From intrapreneurial education to the commercialization of tech-initiatives, the workshop seeks to unravel the potential of intrapreneurship in research, education, knowledge transfer, and societal collaboration. We aim for an international discussion round, since university systems are very different all over the world. And so are intrapreneurial strategies and realities.

Those of you who are speakers at our PDW, please be present 30 minutes before we start our workshop.
