Abstract

This study aims to propose a framework to identify factors for strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem of higher education in maintaining the business continuity of entrepreneurial students. In previous studies in 2020 and 2021, factors from both the internal and external environment have been produced as the college^s eco-input entrepreneurial ecosystem. Previous research related to relevant environmental factors in building an entrepreneurial ecosystem has been widely carried out but the research conducted to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem in universities has not been sufficient and has been studied holistically. Because research on the entrepreneurial ecosystem in higher education continues to develop, it is necessary to develop a measurement framework and empirical validation related to the determinants of strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem in universities in order to maintain the business continuity of entrepreneurial students. Therefore, the contribution of the results of this study in general is a critical review of the set of environmental factors proposed by the existing literature and proposes indicators and related data sources that can be used to measure indicators more holistically. This research will be conducted at the University of Education Indonesia, especially for students who have businesses (entrepreneurs).
