Although social innovation is not a new concept, it has become the center of policy debates at the national and supranational levels in recent years. The significant increase in income and information inequality can be considered among the reasons for this situation. Universities, which are important actors of social innovation, have an important role in creating innovative solutions that go beyond technological innovations in solving current great social challenges. Today, universities need to go beyond their traditional missions and follow strategies that will guide innovation processes based on social benefit. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to propose a new model that universities can use while fulfilling their duty of service to society, which is called the third mission of universities. The Science Shop model, which has never been tried in the Turkish higher education system, but started to be implemented in European universities in the 70s and has increased both in importance and influence today, is evaluated as a participatory, socially sensitive, social-oriented model and presented to Turkish universities as a new structure.
