Resumen

Even when entrepreneurial activities act as one of main driving forces for economic development world around, most high level academic programs are much more focused on "producing" managers and/or technicians than offering qualified and socially responsible entrepreneurs and enterprises nor encouraging entrepreneurship. However, higher educational institutions are becoming conscious of the real role they can play at this point, then progressively including entrepreneurship issues as part of their activities and/or aims for students or academics and researchers. In this paper, we show some results on students' perception about the convenience or necessity of aiming an entrepreneurship culture in universities. These results come from the experience 2002-06 of the LEGIO Plan in the University of León
