Abstract: Social entrepreneurship appears as a newer business model that, in addition to profit, aims to solve a social problem with the help of social innovation. As the number of social enterprises increases, so does the interest in acquiring knowledge, skills, and abilities to create a new social entrepreneur who is ready to respond to modern challenges. That is why the eyes are immediately focused on education and educational institutions that are tasked with laying the foundations of learning for social entrepreneurship. To date, the literature on social entrepreneurship education (SEE) is fragmented and without a clear systematic framework. To fill this research gap, the purpose of this paper is to synthesize and map the landscape of SEE and create a new taxonomy of the ecosystem. Namely, this is one of the first research endeavors to map the educational opportunities for learning social entrepreneurship. The research is aimed at examining key trends in SEE, key themes and concepts, their interrelationships, and impact on the social entrepreneurship ecosystem based on abstract mining of scholarly articles published in journals, which are indexed in the Scopus database. The results have implications for a multitude of stakeholders such as academia, managers and entrepreneurs, practitioners, and decision-makers.
