Abstract
The displacement of the university from an industrial society to a post-industrial society and its new roles, require research into new organizational forms and new proposals to restructure higher education institutions so that the university can contribute to the economic and social growth of the nation. This paper proposes a reflection on the entrepreneurial university in the context of the Brazilian system for the evaluation of higher education (SINAES) in order to analyze the application of the metamodel of the entrepreneurial university as an institutional assessment tool for the reaccreditation of institutions. This paper reviews the literature on the entrepreneurial university and on the metamodel of the entrepreneurial university, in particular. It then presents a proposal for the application of the metamodel dimensions of the entrepreneurial university in the external and internal evaluation processes of higher education institutions.The results obtained in the present reflection are innovative because linking the entrepreneurial university dimensions with the dimensions of the external evaluation tool provide support in the identification and evaluation of programs, projects and actions in the field of entrepreneurship, enabling the identification of elements of entrepreneurial universities in Brazil.
Highlights
The studies on entrepreneurial university developed by Clark (1998; 2004) established the first conceptual foundations for a better understanding of the entrepreneurial university and its transformation process

The innovative knowledge generation dimension includes the notion that the knowledge generated must necessarily be used inside and outside the university
Summary
The studies on entrepreneurial university developed by Clark (1998; 2004) established the first conceptual foundations for a better understanding of the entrepreneurial university and its transformation process. The conceptual models of the entrepreneurial university identified in the literature based on theoretical-empirical observations, contribute to a theoretical deepening of the field, since each one of them mentions the elements that represent the entrepreneurial university in some way or another. The metamodel is based on a postmodern perspective, which involves deconstruction, critical theorization of the practice and reflection Another key point that deserves to be highlighted is the dialog on the entrepreneurial university that has taken place within the Brazilian system for the evaluation of higher education (Planalto Legislation Archives, 2004). This paper reviews the literature on the entrepreneurial university and on the metamodel of the entrepreneurial university developed by Aranha and Garcia (2014), in particular It presents a proposal for the implementation and operation of the metamodel dimensions of the entrepreneurial university in the external and internal evaluation processes of higher education institutions
