T1  - Are peruvian universities ready for the future? Assessing entrepreneurial and innovative capacity in peruvian universities using the HEInnovates´s entrepreneurial universities framework
N2  - This qualitative study focuses on assessing the “future readiness” capacity of three Peruvian Higher Education Institutions under the HEInnovate framework. The main question guiding this research is: To what extent can Peruvian universities be considered entrepreneurial and ready
for tackling the Challenges of the Future? The Challenges of the Future are understood as the challenges generated by concepts such as The Future of Work, The Global Skills Gap, Employability and unexpected and destabilizing risks of the environment, such as COVID-19.
Universities were studied based on 4 research sub-questions: 1) How do Peruvian HEIs rate in Entrepreneurial Capacity according to the HEInnovate framework? 2) What are the factors supporting or preventing Peruvian HEIs to accomplish their entrepreneurial potential? 3) What efforts are Peruvian HEIs making for developing 21st century skills, accomplishing Digital Transformation, and enhancing their students Employability? and 4) What measures could Peruvian HEIs take in order to maximize their entrepreneurial and future-proof potential? The research methodology used was mixed, applying first a quantitative assessment, and then
complementing the results with in-depth interviews. After presenting the conclusions, recommendations for policy action and for university management are given.
