8. Pillar II: Campus Overview
EIT Health Campus activities focus on four target groups that drive change in the health sector:
TRAINING FOR ENTREPRENEURS AND INNOVATORS
TRAINING FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS & EXECUTIVES
TRAINING FOR CITIZENS
DIGITAL ACTIVITIES
CAMPUS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
TRAINING FOR STUDENTS
STUDENTS
ENTREPRENEURS
& INNOVATORS
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS & EXECUTIVES
CITIZENS & PATIENTS
In 2019, Campus introduces two novelties to the portfolio.
The first aims to further develop the Campus Strategic Initiatives by introducing a Call for Innovative Education. This segment of the Campus call follows a need for exploration and experimentation in education ideas and methods, to create the potential to disrupt education and better prepare all target groups (students, professionals and executives, entrepreneurs and innovators, and citizens) to adapt and excel in a changing landscape.
The second novelty introduced to our portfolio is a call for the expansion of networks, a process described in the different activity lines of Campus below. The aim of these calls for networks is to disseminate an activity across the partnership and include all CLCs. Beyond that, these networks should follow a common strategy, operate and be managed in a collaborative manner and, finally, scale high-quality offerings to each network's learners.
When it comes to training for students and entrepreneurs & innovators, we are mainly looking for disseminating and scaling of our activities across the CLCs and lnnoStars.
Regarding training for executives and professionals as well as training for citizens, we are looking to both replicate already well-running programs and also develop novel concepts that will help us achieve our ambitious goals in terms of outreach and impact.
