Purpose: The paper aims at conceptualizing the measurement of the impact of academic spin-offs on the region. Design/methodology/approach: For the purpose of the paper, the desk method was implied. Necessary literature review was presented in the field of public value, Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and necessary economic theories on the relationship between human activity and the environment. A set of indicators was presented as an effect of the desk research. Findings: Public value concept as well as RRI are useful approaches to assess the impact of academic spin-offs through a set of metrics which should be implemented by HEIs in innovation strategies. For the proper assessment of the impact, two scopes of the impact were adopted: direct and indirect. The sets of proposed indicators are presented in three dimensions: social, economic and environmental. Research limitations/implications: Further conceptualization is needed to elaborate more adequate and complete system of planning and monitoring R&D and commercialization activity of higher education institutions (HEIs). Practical implications: Presented indicators can and should be incorporated in HEI's innovation strategies to properly plan and control undertaken activities in research and innovation processes. On the planning stage, metrics should be helpful in shaping the research process to achieve publicly valuable results as broadly as possible. Observing the state of a region can also help HEIs to answer most important public issues. In monitoring and control, HEIs can assess their impact on society, economy and environment while fulfilling third mission of contemporary university. Social implications: Understanding the impact of HEIs activities resulting in enterprises creation and possibility to shape such creation with accordance to public value concept and RRI it is possible to focus on research and innovation valuable for the society in long term. Originality/value: Paper adopts already known concept of public value for the purpose of university research and innovation processes.(original abstract)
