For the 5th year, the National Documentation Centre (EKT), as an EIT Health hub for Greece, with the support of the University of Thessaly, is organizing the Innovation Days (i-Days) from 9 to 11 November 2022.
At the University of Thessaly, the Innovation Days are supported by the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Unit (MOKE), Prof. Georgios Stampoulis and the Department of Computer Science and Biomedical informatics (Intelligent Systems Laboratory (iSL)) Assistant Professor Haralampos Karanikas.
Groups of students are trained in the development of innovative ideas in the field of health and then compete at a pan-European level. From 9 to 11 November, Greek students will form teams, study and compete under the guidance of university professors and special advisors.

The process is implemented in four stages:

1. Students are enrolled in the Innovation Days until the 3rd of November.
2. The teams are formed, they select challenges and study the educational material given to them.
3. They work closely with professors and expert advisors to carry out the challenge they have undertaken.
4. The teams present their ideas and compete with each other.

The 2022 Innovation Days promote innovation in health, through the active participation and training of students from academic institutions across Europe. From October 17 to November 11, 2022, i-Days are being held in more than 30 different locations across Europe, online and/or in person.


Undergraduate and postgraduate students participating in the Innovation Days are trained and come into contact with modern practices and approaches such as design thinking and ideas pitching, work in multidisciplinary teams to address real health challenges, and compete in the development and presentation of their solutions.
