EIT Health Entrepreneurship Training and Education Call
Applications for the EIT Health’s Entrepreneurship Training and Education Call are open until April 22nd 2022! Apart from the EU participants, the call is open to applicants from Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia.
EIT Health calls for two EIT-labelled Degree programmes in Innovation and Entrepreneurship for
our Education portfolio 2.0. The goal is nurturing and catalysing new entrepreneurial talent
in healthcare in Europe and encouraging startup creation.
EIT Health aims at partnering for the creation of a new Master of Science degree, or the
enhancement of an existing degree, with innovation and entrepreneurship education. The aim
should be to create a unique reference degree for:
a. Digital Health
b. Medtech or Biotech
Within this call, EIT Health will fund one programme in Digital Health, together with the
best-evaluated proposal either in Medtech or Biotech.
Selected master programmes will place their focus on turning learners into potential and current entrepreneurs in said fields.
