Go from researcher to creator with EIT Health's BeHealSy

Do you have a biomedical engineering or health systems idea that would benefit from testing in an academic environment?

BeHealSy will give you that environment plus the entrepreneurial skills to turn that idea into a successful business. It's a one-year innovation and entrepreneurship module at the PhD level. You’ll gain multidisciplinary research skills in health systems and the ability to translate research outcomes into the creation of new medical devices, services, and professions for a healthier Europe.

Apply if:

  • You are a healthcare professional, industry employer, or government agency representative with a Master's degree in biomedical engineering or health systems
  • You are a PhD student currently learning biomedical engineering or health systems

The deadline has been extended to 30 April.
