Under the title “The importance of not trivialising the Covid19 pandemic: Lessons we should learn to adapt better to what is coming“, the renowned epidemiology expert Daniel López-Acuña will give a talk on Thursday, 1 June at 19:00 at the Polytechnic City of Innovation of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). The event is in collaboration with the Fisabio Foundation and is part of the Medicarama Chair in Technology and Health.

The lecture will address issues of vital relevance. While some may consider the Covid19 crisis to be a thing of the past, studies indicate that we will face new challenges in the near future. In this context, it is crucial to ask ourselves fundamental questions: Are we adequately prepared? What have we learned so far? Will we persist in repeating the same mistakes?

These questions, among others, will be the subject of an enriching debate in the framework of this lecture, in which Daniel López-Acuña will share his vast knowledge. His ability to communicate and transmit information clearly and accurately has been evidenced in several television interventions during and after the pandemic.

The event is open to the public, although it is important to note that capacity is limited. It is therefore recommended that you arrive well in advance to guarantee a place. Take advantage of this valuable opportunity to learn from one of the leading epidemiology experts and reflect on how we can adapt more effectively to the challenges ahead.

If you are unable to attend, you can also follow it online. To do so, you must register here. You will receive an invitation from Zoom to connect.

For the second consecutive year and hand in hand with EIT Health, the UPV will celebrate the Innovation Days on November 5 and 6, an event designed to motivate and inspire students of any degree, degree and university, as well as anyone interested in the field of innovation in health, wellbeing and entrepreneurship.

i-Days promote health innovation among university students through dozens of one-day and two-day programmes held in academic institutions around Europe. Students from all academic areas receive an introduction to practical health innovation tools and compete in teams to tackle real-life health challenges proposed by EIT Health, local organisations, private corporations or start-ups.

UPV’s competition takes the form of a gamified online platform that turns the solution development process into an adventure that transports us to the conquest of a galaxy, advancing as the phases are completed, adding motivation and fun to address real challenges that Europe is facing in the health sector.

i-Days are accessible to all undergraduate and postgraduate students with an interest in healthcare innovation. You do not need any prerequisite skills or prior experience in innovation, entrepreneurship or healthcare. There are no academic requirements and students from all disciplines and departments are welcome to join.

The winning team of each i-Day will attend the Winners’ Event, a final competition that unites students from around Europe, that will take place on November 27, 2021.

UPV’s Innovation Days are organized by EIT Health with the collaboration of IDEASUPV and the ITACA Institute. EIT Health is supported by the EIT, a body of the European Union.
