Abstract. The paper discusses policy issues related to entrepreneurship education in higher education and how entrepreneurship education may be related to the science-industry link. The first part of the paper is dedicated to the rationale for fostering entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial function in the economy of a given coutry or region. In a second part, the authors comment European events and policy documents on entrepreneurship education in the last tewnty years. The most significant drawback is that a specific policy targeting the explicit role of universities in the provision of entrepreneurship education is lacking and that there is a huge interest and potential to its future development. In this context, the authors suggest in the last part of the article strategic and operational measures as parts of a comprehensive policy on entrepreneurship education in the European higher education.
Keywords: entrepreneurship education; entrepreneurial function; science-industry link; education policy for entrepreneurship education.
