INnovate & INspire EIT Health Spain – SEIB Biomedical Engineering Award

EIT Health Spain and SEIB are proud to announce the fourth edition of the INnovate & INspire EIT Health Spain-SEIB Biomedical Engineering Award aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and innovation among recent graduates and students of this specialty. The award celebrates academic excellence and encourages students to continue the pursuit of healthy lives in Europe throughout their future careers.

EIT Health aims to address top EU health priorities by bridging the gap between academia and enterprise, upskilling professionals, and engaging learners. Our goal at EIT Health Spain is to unite and mobilize key players in the health innovation value chain in Spain, driving technology transfer, social impact, and improving the quality of life for European citizens.

For these awards, we invite all Degree, Master or PhD students and young professionals working in Biomedical Engineering (and similar backgrounds), who have graduated within the last 3 years, to participate as applicants by sharing the topic of their Final Degree Project, Final Master Project («TFG» or «TFM») or current PhD or work project related to biomedical engineering.

These are the three categories:

  1. The Collaboration on Patient-centered care Award prioritizes and enhances patient-centered care through collaborative efforts spanning backgrounds and areas of medicine. This award celebrates innovative digital solutions in this field such as digital medical devices, with a special emphasis on the collaborative integration of expertise from various domains. By focusing on patient-centered solutions, the award highlights innovations that deliver outcomes that matter to patients and can be used by and for the benefit of patients to prevent illnesses and improve the quality of life of patients. The award seeks to honor those innovations that exemplify the power of cross-disciplinary collaboration in advancing digital health.
  2. The Deep Tech Healthcare Innovative Award focused on boosting solutions to deliver to healthcare professionals as primary users. These solutions should leverage advanced technologies, such as AI, IoT, telemedicine, or data analytics, to create integrated healthcare systems. This award also recognizes the implementation of robust analysis of existing databases to inform and optimize healthcare delivery, demonstrating the transformative potential of collaborative innovation in advancing patient care.
