Summary/Abstract: In this article, we examine the potential relationships between social enterprises and higher education (HE), primarily in terms of how the relatively new concept of social enterprise may affect the operation of higher education institutions. After exploring the concept of social enterprise / social entrepreneurship, we look at this issue in three ways: first, 1) we describe potential effects of the concept of social enterprise on the operation of HE institutions; then 2) we review the appearance of the topic in higher education, focusing on the field of business administration, and finally 3) we analyze the connection to social enterprises based on the experience of a science shop, which is considered a way of accomplishing the third mission of HE institutions.
