EIT Health Accreditation framework

The EIT Label is a European quality mark awarded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) to education offerings that meet defined quality standards covering both the design and delivery of high-quality learning experiences and the integration of innovation and entrepreneurship.

As part of EIT Health’s accreditation approach, these requirements are complemented by the EIT Health Competency Framework. The framework defines eight core competencies relevant to innovation and entrepreneurship in healthcare and provides a common reference for assessing the learning outcomes and competency development addressed by each course.
