After last year's success, EIT Health i-Days, the Hackathon organized by SYNLAB, in collaboration with Cariplo Factory, Federated Innovation @MIND and Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, is back!
The 3-days international competition brings together university students from all over Italy, calling them to solve a challenge in the healthcare sector.
The EIT Health i-Days promote health innovation among university students through dozens of one-day and two-day programmes held in academic institutions around Europe. Students from all academic areas are introduced to practical health innovation tools and compete in teams to tackle real-life health challenges.
For the 2023 edition, students like you will approach the "SMART AND HEALTH CITIES FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE" challenge.
With this Hackathon, therefore, you will be involved in developing innovative solutions through artificial intelligence, the IoT (Internet of Things) or other technologies, to make healthcare services more accessible, efficient and effective within a possible smart city.
The i-Days, the free event with limited places, promoted by EIT Health (European Institute of Innovation & Technology) and developed in collaboration with Cariplo Factory and Federated Innovation @MIND, will be held in Milan at the Milano Innovation District (MIND), from 7 to 9 November 2023.
In addition to Milan, the EIT Health i-Days will involve 24 other European cities, which will, in turn, decide their own winning groups, who will then participate in the Winners' Event, the final which will reward the most innovative and brilliant proposal at the European level.
