Abstract The phenomenon of entrepreneurial universities has received considerable attention over the last decades. An entrepreneurial orientation by academia can lead to innovative and sustainable products and research mobilization which help in putting regions and nations in an advantageous position in emerging knowledge-intensive fields of economic activity. Many empirical researches focused on entrepreneurial orientation of university students, but study on antecedents and criteria of the entrepreneurial universities is scarce. The main contribution of this paper is providing a comprehensive criteria set for evaluation of entrepreneurial universities. In this context, environmental and internal factors of entrepreneurial universities were identified based on literature review and survey. Twelve academics and managers have participated in this study by weighing the criteria and scoring alternatives. Society, in particular, higher education institutions, and universities can use the results for creation of new businesses and spin-offs. Data was analyzed by fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and fuzzy technique for order preferences by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS).
