A total of five participants, including four international students, from several partner institutions of the EU4Dual Alliance (Mondragon Unibertsitatea, John von Neumann University, DHBW, Savonia University of Applied Sciences) took part in the event. The aim was to explore the contributions of engineering to health.
Several themes were addressed during the conferences, including participatory research, artificial intelligence and emotional recognition, robotics and exoskeletons, mapping health territories and centers, and connected devices for supporting the elderly.
Group work sessions also allowed participants to advance their research projects and receive expert advice on thesis writing and ethical issues in healthcare.
This week fostered complementary scientific exchanges among young researchers and highlighted the research work conducted at ESTIA and in the Basque region. Experts and researchers from the Basque Country, as well as from the universities of Savonia, Valladolid, and Cantabria, contributed to the discussions.
Participants also had the opportunity to discover the local area through a guided tour of Bayonne. This successful first edition, focused on knowledge sharing, European cooperation, and health innovation, was deemed a success by ESTIA.
