and society so that academics are able to create innovations that are integrated with
business and society (Gaol et al. 2018; Leal Filho 2020).
The peaceful university is the term used when there is the integration of the university in society and society in the university (Norgard and Bengtsen 2016), that is, a
university that invites and promotes openness, dialogue, mutual integration, care and
joint responsibility, among the different stakeholders. Thus, this article explores the
social problems of the local community through this academic citizenship, becoming
a place that becomes a space for the public. The University becomes a means for
the social, a means of exchange, both as a place to look for the solution or as a
transformative agent.
This article aims to identify the key factors that impact the success and continuity
of social practices or actions, which involve entrepreneurship or social innovation.
Through action research, four social actions or practices were implemented that
involved entrepreneurship.
1.1 Social Innovation
Social innovation can be understood as a product or service, from the point of view
as a product it serves to solve unmet or unmet needs, whereas, from the point of view
as a service, it becomes a new way to engage stakeholders or actors to address needs.
(Caroli et al. 2018).
Social innovation leads to social change and promotes the empowerment of actors
to deal with social challenges. Although the term social innovation is used in many
and overlapping forms in different areas, there is a common idea that social innovation
occurs to solve a social problem and thereby achieve an improvement in the quality of
life, such as the availability of clean water, owning an affordable home, or aiming for
a graduate degree or longevity (Pol and Ville 2009). While social innovation is related
to solving a social problem, it is understood as a complex process of introducing new
products, processes, or programs that profoundly change basic routines, resource
flows or authority, or beliefs (Westley and Antadze 2010).
The term social innovation has also changed over the years. In its first academic
uses, it was used to refer to the creation of new patterns of human interaction, new
social structures or new relationships (Table 1). Recently, the concept deals with
innovations designed to solve a social or environmental problem or to address a
specific flaw or social need of the context in which it is inserted (Nicholls and Dees
2015).
The concept of social innovation carries at its core the transformation of the
scenario or context in which it occurs. From this perspective of change, social innovation is divided into three types: incremental, institutional, or disruptive. Incremental social innovation deals with goods and services; institutional social innovation reshapes social and economic structures to generate new social values, and
finally, disruptive social innovation aims for systems change through political action
(Nicholls and Dees 2015). Thus, social innovation can transform the context through
