The Oxford Institute of Population Ageing, in partnership with SAID Business School and the Pierre & Marie Currie University in Paris, has been successful in a bid to host a 2018 EIT Health Summer School on Active Ageing. The School will be held in Oxford/Paris and other partners include the Medical Sciences Division of the University of Oxford and the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as well as a number of external partners.
The School will host around 45 students from mixed disciplines and from across Europe and the EIT Community participating in a three week intensive programme of challenge definition, problem solving, solutions generation and venture creation. As well as lectures, the School will include engagement with citizens, practitioners and professionals as well as entrepreneurs and potential investors. The focus of the School will be on addressing the challenges of functional loss through physical or mental disease and degeneration”.
