ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATION IN THE UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT: NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION (2000 TO 2021)

The mutations of modernity have imposed new configurations on society – social, cultural, political, economic, technological. Issues such as economic downturn, social movements that seek space in the arc of power, diffuse political articulations, cultural imbroglios, debates about gender, concerns about the environment, etc. have moved scholars to build an agenda that effectively responds to the demands of society, especially socially vulnerable ones. Taking this reality as an economic foundation, the study aims to analyze the characteristics of national scientific production related to entrepreneurial education in universities, represented by articles published in national journals. This purpose is inferred from the relevance of the topic in the current socioeconomic scenario. It is concluded that there was an evolution in the number of publications on the topic, especially between the years 2016 to 2021, indicating the expansion of debates, cases and practices regarding the insertion of Entrepreneurial Education in the academic environment, which is why it is suggested an agenda for future research in the field, aiming to stimulate new perspectives that are capable of incorporating youth into the field of entrepreneurship, as a legitimate alternative for personal and professional fulfillment.
