There are several actors that participate in an innovation ecosystem, among them the Entrepreneurial Universities (YAGHMAIE; VANHAVERBEKE, 2019). However, the implementation models of the entrepreneurial university are incomplete and in the literature there are few efforts that seek to map and plan the demands for the university to become part of an innovation ecosystem. (DE MOURA, et al., 2019). Faced with this context, this research aims to identify what are the critical success factors for the implementation of the entrepreneurial university in the view of the Brazilian scientific community. Based on a systematic review of the literature, a qualitative meta-synthesis on universities in the context of innovation ecosystems was conducted through the Literature Grounded Theory (LGT). The results identify the critical success factors for university participation in innovation ecosystems. Such factors have in their origin cause and effect relationships that could be discovered through the identification of association rules between the analyzed studies, which until then, had not been mapped in the literature. Based on this analysis, universities can identify the demands and plan strategic actions for creation, insertion or adaptation, as well as review their model of action in innovation ecosystems.
