Objective of the study: To investigate institutional practices promoted by universities and HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) in the context of Sustainable Entrepreneurship, as evidenced in the international scientific literature in the field of Management and Business.
Methodology/approach: An exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative study conducted through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), following the PRISMA protocol. The descriptors “Sustainable Business” OR “Sustainable Entrepreneurship” AND (University OR “Higher Education” OR Academic*) were used in international databases, considering publications up to April 2024. Article selection was supported by the Start software, followed by exploratory reading, content analysis, and thematic categorization.
Originality/Relevance: The originality of the study lies in its institutional approach to Sustainable Entrepreneurship, going beyond the traditional focus on individual student competencies. Its relevance is in contributing to the strengthening of HEIs as agents of sustainable development, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Main results: Institutional actions were organized into three dimensions—academic, structural, and relational—systematized in an Analytical Framework for Practices to Promote Sustainable Entrepreneurship.
Contributions: The study proposes a framework applicable to different institutional contexts, contributing to theoretical advancements, policy formulation, and more effective management practices within HEIs.
