Summary/Abstract: The article is a critique of the entrepreneurial university model. Its first thesis states the academia cannot be regarded as an element of the industry supply chain. The second thesis deals with an issue of double funding: the very process of commercialisation of research is based on funding of private and thus commercial enterprises with public resources. Unlike many writings on this subject, it’s not the article’s aim to defend an academic knowledge community in its traditional mode. Drawing on selected private-public partnership models, the authors reveal the history of entrepreneurial university concept: its legal and political origin, as well as basic presumptions. In the following analysis they describe and test its utility on its own terms.
