FOUNDATION UNIVERSITIES IN THE CONTEXT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL and INNOVATIVE UNIVERSITY INDEX

Summary/Abstract: The number of foundation universities in Turkey is increasing with time, as that of state universities. There are 74 foundation universities in this country as of the end of 2019. Since 2012, an “entrepreneurial and innovative university index (GYÜE)” has been defined by taking into account 23 indicators with the data obtained from the Scientific Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBITAK), the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TÜBA), the Higher Education Council (YÖK) and some units of the Ministry of Science and Industry and Technology. This index evaluates universities based on their scientific and technological research competence, cooperation and interaction activity, intellectual property activity, culture of entrepreneurship and innovation, and potential for economic contribution and trade. In this article, the parameters of the relevant index are defined, the evaluation principles are addressed and the yields of 50 foundation universities established between 1984 and 2010 are discussed on the basis of GYUE and some suggestions about universities are made.
