Abstract

The external context plays a vital role in the promotion of entrepreneurship, especially in entrepreneurial universities. This study examines the role of innovation and entrepreneurship infrastructure in facilitating the development and commercialisation of research outputs from the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) faculties in a university in Nigeria. The study is based on a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology. A questionnaire was administered to 60 lecturers/researchers across six faculties (Science, Engineering, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Pharmacy and Agriculture), yielding an 85% response rate. Eleven follow-up interviews were conducted in four faculties and field observations were held at four research and innovation facilities. The study findings have strategic implications for policymaking, practice and theory
