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.

The ITACA-WIICT is a meeting forum for scientist, technicians and other professionals who are dedicated to Information and communication technologies study and research. Its fundamental scope is to promote the contact among scientific and professionals, improving the cooperation as well as the technological transfer among professionals.

Due to the COVID pandemic, this year edition will have a different approach. Researchers of the ITACA institute have prepared videos in which they show their areas of knowledge and research with the aim of bringing research closer to society and possible collaborators. In this sense, the WIICT pretends to be a kind of continuation of the 2021 European Researchers’ Night, which takes place just before the start of WIICT 2021, on September 24.

This edition is also intended to be a tribute to one of our young researchers, Ferran Mocholí, who unfortunately passed away this year.

The videos of this edition will be released gradually from Monday 27th at the following link: http://www.itaca.upv.es/wiict2021/

We want to congratulate the women who work in our institute and thank them for their efforts. Your important contribution makes us better.

We also want to second the Statement by the European Commission ahead of International Women’s Day 2021. Gender equality must be at the heart of the post-pandemic recovery.
