TOOLS TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL UNIVERSITIES IN BULGARIA

Abstract

At the current stage of the development of higher education, increasing importance is given to the development of entrepreneurial skills and innovations. At the same time, there are no established and widely applied methods for assessing universities in terms of the entrepreneurship developed in them. Due to the identification of this problem, this article examines the policies and efforts of the European Union countries in relation to the promotion of entrepreneurship in education as a tool for achieving sustainable economic growth, striving for innovation and increasing the competences of human resources. Various instruments for improving entrepreneurial skills, improving the quality of education and thus increasing the competitiveness of EU member states are analyzed.
