Help build the foundation for the next generation of healthcare innovators.
EIT Health is launching a call to develop a new Levelling Online Course on Entrepreneurship in Healthcare. The course will provide a common baseline of innovation and entrepreneurship knowledge across the EIT Health education portfolio, supporting learners as they progress from foundational to advanced innovation concepts. The course will be delivered through three learning levels: Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced.
We invite multidisciplinary consortia from across the Knowledge Triangle (Industry, Education and Research) to design and develop this EIT-labelled learning experience. Applicants should bring expertise in healthcare innovation, entrepreneurship education, digital learning, and ensure industry engagement.
The selected consortium will create a scalable, self-paced online course covering topics such as healthcare entrepreneurship, design thinking, business models, stakeholder engagement, intellectual property, and venture creation. As a stand-alone course or as part of other programmes, it will support Master’s students, PhD candidates, researchers, and young professionals in developing the skills needed to transform ideas and research into real-world healthcare innovation, contributing to the advancement of the healthcare sector.
Join EIT Health in building the learning foundation that will empower the next generation of healthcare entrepreneurs and innovators.
