EIT Health Campus announces Summer Schools and Short Courses for 2017
EIT Health Campus is pleased to announce the Summer Schools and Short Courses for 2017!
In its second year, the Campus activity line of Summer Schools and Short Courses offers stellar learners unique opportunities to deepen their understanding of especially relevant areas within the health and healthcare industry. These programmes build on the broad expertise among EIT Health partners and attract the most talented students in Europe with the aim of investing in their future. These courses will be taking students for sessions during the summer and at other times of the year.
Our programme in 2017 will focus on the integration of the different EIT Health Pillars. The inflow of business cases can come from individual participating students but also from industrial partners directly involved in running upcoming EIT Health Innovation Projects. Furthermore, Summer Schools and Short Courses will be organised so the best business ideas and themes feed into the EIT Health Accelerator.
The main objective of these courses is to deliver the knowledge, skills and attitude that can prepare learners for creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship in fields relevant to the three major challenges EIT Health seeks to address: promoting healthy living, supporting active ageing and improving healthcare. Each school/course should address one or more of these challenges, or a cross-cutting topic.
We will soon be sharing information about registration.
Summer Schools

In the health landscape, there is an increasing demand to boost students’ ability to develop innovative solutions for health-related challenges in direct collaboration with all public and private stakeholders and end users of all kinds. The triple summer school aims to deliver interdisciplinary learning-by-doing education and tools for innovative processes to graduates and health care professionals. In addition, the schools will enhance direct interaction with the public and private sector to stimulate the participants’ community engagement.

The school will bring together e-health researchers and innovators from Human-Computer Interaction, Health Sciences and Psychology. It will give participants grounding in qualitative and quantitative methods that can be used to design and validate e-health systems, practical experience in the refinement of application designs, an introduction to the technology transfer process that should accompany the translation of research findings into medical practice, and knowledge of how it can operate in e-health.
Lead Partner: Medical University of Lodz (InnoStars)
Digital technology has a high potential to close the gap between medical knowledge and the effectiveness of diabetes management. InnoDiaCare, in partnership with CLOSE, will empower students to develop new business ideas related to realistic care scenarios. We aim to combine the experience of patients and their caregivers with the know-how of industry experts and the inventiveness of students to create novel ideas in diabetes care eligible for follow-up within and beyond EIT Health.

euVENTION’s overall goal is to improve prevention and treatment options for middle-aged people (aged 50-70), who are threatened by or suffering from chronic diseases (diabetes, coronary heart diseases, psychological disorders). Teams of three to five participants work jointly to overcome challenges in combining prevention and treatment of chronic diseases through modern and active lifestyles. euVENTION generates actionable results while qualifying participants to use state of the art innovation methods (design thinking, rapid prototyping, business modelling) for future healthcare related endeavours. At the end of euVENTION, participants will have run through all phases of a real-world innovation project.
