Abstract: Abstract Entrepreneurship Education (EE) recently emerged as a relevant factor in fostering entrepreneurial dynamics. Accordingly, scholars and practitioners have widely acknowledged that the exploration and exploitation of knowledge-based dimensions strongly influence the effectiveness of EE. Despite this, a holistic knowledge-based perspective about EE is still missing. To fill this gap, this paper first identifies and categorizes the potential knowledge-based dimensions grounding EE and then provides a set of case studies to show the theoretical framework's application to current real EE programming. The paper combines deductive and inductive approaches. After elaborating a conceptual framework identifying the potential knowledge-based dimensions for EE, it is tested and applied in three real EE programs developed in Italy and in Finland. The study elaborates a dedicated conceptual framework and identifies the potential knowledge asset dimensions grounding EE programs. Then, a multiple case-study analysis enriches the proposed conceptual arguments with empirical evidence. This paper contributes to developing the literature on EE according to a knowledge- based perspective.
