Abstract

Like the ideological evolutions that have long marked the history of scientific research, it goes without saying that the university, the center of all academic progress, does not fail to illustrate, in its turn, a scope in the missions it seeks to fulfill. Faced with this reality, the concept of university entrepreneurship has been expanded to include student entrepreneurship, now developed in the embryonic phase within Cadi Ayyad University. The purpose of this research was to discover the involvement of Cadi Ayyad University in supporting and promoting the entrepreneurship of its students as well as its correspondence with the characteristics of an entrepreneurial university. Through this research, we presented a literature review centered on the concepts of entrepreneurial university and responsible innovation. We sought to explore within the framework of an exclusive qualitative study the detailed portrait of the entrepreneurial approach through innovation specific to the context of the University Cadi Ayyad in Morocco, then to apprehend the willingness to participate in the entrepreneurial ground among students. The results of this research include the introduction to responsible innovation among young researchers, the perception of the concepts «entrepreneurship» and «innovation» in constant coalition, and the empirical participation of the interviewees' entrepreneurship projects in the regional ecosystem. This study of entrepreneurship and responsible innovation revealed that few respondents have this in mind. In addition, this research aimed at a first apprehension of the model of entrepreneurial university and responsible innovation in a context little studied in this regard.
