The French-Canadian BIOMEDInnov program, funded by the Sorbonne University (SU) FormInnov call in 2017, is dedicated to innovation in education and entrepreneurship in biomedical engineering around the study and design of biomedical devices. This project builds on a strong collaboration between the University of Waterloo (UW, Canada), leader in technological innovation and 2 french partners of excellence: the University of technology of Compiègne (UTC) and Sorbonne University (SU). This project is also supported by the labex MS2T of UTC and the engineering department ofSU’s Faculty of science and engineering.
As part of BIOMEDinnov, a summer school is scheduled from June 18 to 22, 2018 in addition to mobility of students for their internships (22 students) carried out in the laboratories of the involved universities. This summer school aims to train students to technology in health, innovation and entrepreneurship by bringing the world of research and industry around the North American and European visions. To achieve this goal, an ambitious program of five days has been prepared. It includes first a half day, around carried out internships and then seminars provided by professionals on all aspects of biomedical through presentations, practical trainings, visits of laboratories and technological platforms. These seminars will cover R & D, design, agile methods, prototyping, acceptability, standards, regulations, economic model, entrepreneurship, legal and ethical aspects of biomedical devices. Furthermore, a bio-hackathon will be held during the week to put in practice the acquired knowledge and skills. For the development and sustainability of the initiated research collaborations, a biomedical engineering research symposium will be associated with this school on June 21..
An industrial partner, Medtronic, world leader in innovation of medical devices, will be the sponsor of the event and will bring his vision "of collective intelligence for innovation" by participating in the training of the students during this summer school.
The participants will be students, French and Canadian researchers involved in the BIOMEDInnov program as well as start-ups, French and Canadian biomedical companies. Clinicians are also associated to better define the needs and issues. The best projects of innovation (bio-hackathon) will be awarded at the end of the week. Students and faculties of SU and UTC are cordially invited to participate in this exceptional event with previous registration.
Please register before June 14th !
