Help shape the next generation of healthcare innovators!
EIT Health is seeking consortia from across education, research, and industry to design and deliver immersive Summer Schools and Certified Innovation Path (CIP) Residentials in one of four thematic areas: Health Data, Digital Medical Devices, High Value Care, or Biotech. These programmes will provide participants with intensive, online and in-person learning experience, focused on responding to real-world healthcare challenges and supported by industry expertise.
We welcome applications from higher education institutions, research organisations, healthcare providers, industry partners, and other innovation ecosystem stakeholders with experience in entrepreneurship and innovation education.
Through challenge-based learning and collaboration with experts, participants will develop entrepreneurial and innovation skills, gain hands-on experience in solution development, and strengthen their readiness to translate research and ideas into real-world impact. The programmes are expected to contribute to a stronger European healthcare innovation ecosystem, increased innovation capacity, and the creation of future healthcare entrepreneurs and leaders.
