Are you a creative student with plenty of ideas but unsure how to turn them into reality? Do you feel you lack the technical expertise or the confidence to take the first step?
Apply for the seventh EIT Health i-Days and join students from a wide range of disciplines to tackle current healthcare challenges together. With the guidance, expertise, and encouragement of experienced mentors, you will work collaboratively to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.
The challenges will be presented by leading experts and researchers, while experienced mentors will introduce you to practical tools for innovation, the Design Thinking approach to problem-solving, and the art of presenting ideas through effective pitching.
Participants will be organised into multidisciplinary teams to develop and present their ideas and solutions. Their work will be evaluated by an expert panel using a standardised set of assessment criteria. The three highest-ranked teams will receive valuable prizes.
The winning team will also earn the opportunity to represent Croatia at the international EIT Health i-Days Winners’ Event in Paris, where they will compete against winning teams from other participating countries. In addition, they will receive support for the further development of their ideas and the opportunity to become part of the EIT Health innovation network.
Apply if you:
- are interested in innovation and want to learn how an idea is transformed into a successful innovation.
- want to develop your skills in presenting and pitching ideas effectively to an audience.
- want to help solve some of the most pressing challenges facing healthcare.
- want to be part of the winning team that will travel to Paris to represent Croatia at the EIT Health i-Days Winners’ Event.
