The importance and the definition of an entrepreneurial university (EU), together with the factors that lead to its existence, have been widely discussed in the literature. Moreover, in recent years, the EU has also been the target of some public policies. This study aims to identify the different theoretical approaches to entrepreneurial universities prevalent in the literature. Using information from the Web of Science database, we performed a co-citation bibliometric analysis, which made it possible to identify six distinct EU approaches: the triple helix model, the knowledge society model, the global perspective, the researcher-entrepreneur model, the dual personality approach, and also a frenzied approach.

创业型大学 (EU) 的重要性和定义，以及导致其存在的因素，已在文献中得到广泛讨论。而且，近年来，欧盟也成为一些公共政策的目标。本研究旨在确定文献中普遍存在的创业型大学的不同理论方法。使用来自 Web of Science 数据库的信息，我们进行了共引文献计量分析，这使得确定六种不同的欧盟方法成为可能：三螺旋模型、知识社会模型、全球视角、研究人员-企业家模型、双重人格的方法，也是一种疯狂的方法。
