Having taught Entrepreneurship and Innovation management (E&I) in higher education for more than 30 years, we were interested in current teaching practices in Germany. Therefore, we conducted expert interviews with colleagues from 15 universities and 5 universities of applied sciences. Nine of these interviewees teach entrepreneurship, and 11 teach innovation management. In this paper, we share the insights that we gained. We organize the findings according to the notions of teaching about E&I, teaching for E&I, and teaching through E&I, and in so doing, we address the learning effects, role of the lecturer, and deployed didactic methods. Furthermore, we summarize the interviewees’ answers regarding the perceived opportunities, challenges, and prospects regarding E&I teaching.
