Entrepreneurial Model vs Humboldt University Model: Institutionalization of University Entrepreneurship. Methodology and Practice of Solutions

University technological and social entrepreneurship based on the university ecosystems of the BRICS countries, the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform is an integral part of knowledge transfer. Successful practices in addressing the institutionalization of university entrepreneurship on a global scale form the basis of high-achieving economies in the Global Innovation Ranking (China’s experience). The aim of the article is to institutionalize university entrepreneurship in the Russian educational space by solving the following problems: revealing the essence of entrepreneurial and Humboldt models of universities; analyzing the development of the university’s entrepreneurial model based on current standards in the Russian educational space. Methods include general scientific methods. Research information base consists of the works indexed in the Scientific Electronic Library (elibrary), Google Scholar. As a result, the processes of institutionalization of university entrepreneurship in the broadest sense of the word are considered, including the processes of accounting for university startups from the relevant statistical collections, bringing standards to a status that allows them to create products that are accepted from the pilot stage, pilot batch in Russian and foreign markets, including the BRICS, MENA, LATAM markets; the concept of “university social entrepreneurship” based on the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” is clarified as a concept reflecting, on the one hand, the current understanding of education, on the other hand, based on university project activities; standards in the field of university entrepreneurship, with the allocation of universal, specialized standards are systemized; Humboldt’s entrepreneurial university models are differentiated based on R. Rothwell ’s classification from the stage of the origin of ideas for innovative projects with the creation of products and/ or solutions for socio-economic problems of the region (the first stage) to the stage of obtaining results (the third stage) through the organization of the innovation and project process at the university (the second stage); recommendations on the system of static monitoring of university technological and social entrepreneurship are formed. The results obtained can be used to promote university technology and social entrepreneurship in the markets of the BRICS, MENA, and LATAM countries.
