Are you a higher education student searching for the opportunity to share your idea? Do you want to be a future innovator and entrepreneur to develop a world-class solution to societal challenges and create growth and skilled jobs?
We designed this Intensive Study Programme to provide you with a complete overview of eHealth, guiding you through the technical aspects and equipping you to predict and forecast what’s coming next.
A number of 42 students from Portugal and Romania with backgrounds in Health and Computer sciences will be enrolled to participate in an intensive study programme. International teaching staff and mentors will help you develop competencies in professional practice to tackle the real Digital Health problems. At the end of the intensive study program and long-term mentorship program, seven teams of students will have the opportunity to pitch a project to international stakeholders at our final conference.
The eHealth Lab aims to facilitate the formation of mixed groups (IT and Health) in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, to create various digital health tools in which students will be part of challenge-based learning exercises and act as eHealth developers and researchers. Their final project will involve the development of one innovative eHealth technology idea (over the next ten months) that could be implemented and financed in their region.
