Brief Description
Are you a university student and have a strong interest in digital, innovation and the healthcare sector?
Description

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 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 and two-day programmes held in academic institutions around Europe. Students from all academic backgrounds receive an introduction to practical health innovation tools and compete in teams to tackle real-life health challenges.  

For the 2024 edition, students like you will approach the "Ageing Population and Chronic Diseases: AI, Cybersecurity and data science to improve patients’ quality of life" challenge. 

During this Hackathon, you will therefore be involved in developing innovative solutions that leverage technology to make healthcare services more accessible, efficient and effective. 

The i-Days, a 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 5th to 6th of November 2024. 

This year, the hackathon will start with online educational and inspirational sessions for students, held from the 28th to 30th of October 2024.  

In addition to Milan, the EIT Health i-Days will involve more than 20 other European cities, which will elect their own winning groups. The latter will then participate in the Winners' Event - 28-29 of November in Budapest - the final step of the competition, which will reward the most innovative and brilliant proposal at European level.  


Why sign up for the EIT Health i-Days, the Hackathon organized by SYNLAB? 

Participating in the Hackathon will allow you to: 

  • Meet and compete with other talented young people, just like you! 
  • There are over 100 students who will have the opportunity to participate in our Hackathon: ready to meet them all and make new friends? 
  • Test your problem-solving skills, leaving your mark. 
  • Apply together with your university mates: with your team, you will have the opportunity to solve a healthcare challenge that could make healthcare services more accessible, efficient and effective.
  • Get to know the top players in the industry: you will present your idea directly to the many partners involved in EIT Health i- Days. 
  • Make your CV stand out: the next one to join SYNLAB could be you! 

Registrations will officially close on October 25th at 6:00 PM.
