Zomerschool voor ondernemerschap in de zorg

How many ventures and innovations truly focus on providing value for patients, care professionals, care managers and other relevant stakeholders? And how many do you know who tried to do that, but failed? The Creating ValEU Innovation Training Course (funded by EIT Health) will provide you with the knowledge and tools to create a value-driven venture idea through an integrated approach jointly provided by Oxford University, TU Delft and Coimbra university. This is a blended learning course designed by top-tier universities to create the next generation of pioneers in healthcare innovation. Learn from industry leaders, participate in skills and training workshops, and work with experienced mentors to pitch your ideas to a panel of experts and investors. Receive an EIT Health certificate and the chance to earn 5 ECTS (for international students not registered at TU Delft this depends on the recognition procedure of your home university).

Throughout the course we will simulate a real-life entrepreneurial journey as much as possible. Using a challenge-based project, you will develop an entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial skills through hands-on experiences and by engaging in proactive behavior. Winning participants could have the opportunity to win seed capital to turn those ideas into reality. Don't miss this opportunity, apply by 19 August!

This blended course exists out of six phases:

The mandatory weekly sessions to attend are on Tuesdays evening at 18.30PM and thus you can combine this course with your daily program if this is more convenient for you.
