Summary/Abstract: Preparing the society for change in all areas of life becomes a challenge for the education system, as well as its adaptation to the evolving needs of the learner. The role of universities, as a force for economic development, enhancing competitiveness and, at the same time, providing highly skilled workers in the knowledge-based economy, is growing steadily and is increasingly widely accepted. The subject of this article is an attempt to answer the question of the role of entrepreneurship in the functioning of public HEIs in Poland. Based on literature studies and quantitative analysis of the Polish public university market, the article points to three basic dimensions of universities entrepreneurship and gives examples of the changes that are implemented so that the entrepreneurial character of the institution can be developed in the spirit of the mission of the university meeting the needs of the environment.
