ROLE OF EDUCATORS IN THE ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM

Entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial ecosystem is a very important, but seldom discussed field of education. The main goal of our paper is to describe the entrepreneurial ecosystem in which entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial activities should be conducted, and which main participants are universities, human resource (including entrepreneurs and employees), supporting institutions and organizations ('ecosystem feeders') and the infrastructure where all players are working or are operated. The paper focuses on the role of educators in this ecosystem, how can the university professors and lecturers influence the circumstances of entrepreneurship education, how can they build close and well-working cooperation with the other parties of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, so as to give a well-based knowledge for the students, who might be the entrepreneurs of the future.
