The purpose of this study is to theoretically examine the criteria of the TÜBİTAK Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index (TÜBİTAK-EIUI) in terms of the prominent operational areas of the entrepreneurial university as reported by the relevant articles in higher education journals. For this purpose, a literature-based theoretical comparison was carried out. Firstly, the details related to the criteria of the TÜBİTAK-EIUI were gathered and visualised. The results of a meta-synthesis study, which analyzes articles from top higher education journals, on the operational areas of the entrepreneurial university were then visualised. In the analysis stage, drawing on this visualization, the criteria in TÜBİTAK-EIUI and the operational areas of the entrepreneurial university were compared by cross-tabulation. The results of this comparison revealed that five categories in the TÜBİTAK-EIUI included more content than the prominent operational areas of the entrepreneurial university. Read More...
