This workshop focused on the multifaceted realm of intrapreneurship within university settings. In contrast to conventional views, intrapreneurship in academia extends beyond established frameworks, embodying a dynamic fusion of entrepreneurial activities within the academic landscape. Recognizing academics as capable intrapreneurs, this workshop explored how they can leverage novel ideas and opportunities to enrich their academic contributions and, subsequently, enhance their professional capacities and prospects. While existing studies have touched upon intrapreneurial capabilities in areas such as remote education, employee commitment, and behaviors in the university setting, the broader context of intrapreneurship within academia remains largely unexplored. The worskhop aimed to bridge this gap by fostering insightful discussions on embedding intrapreneurial mindsets within university management teams and cultivating an intrapreneurial identity among students and researchers. From intrapreneurial education to the commercialization of tech-initiatives, the workshop sought to unravel the potential of intrapreneurship in research, education, knowledge transfer, and societal collaboration. An international panel discussion was held to present the different higher education systems around the world.
