Did you know that 6G networks can transform healthcare infrastructure? These technologioes are a wonderful implementation, as they can imprive its resiliebce, energy-efficiency, security, and accessiblility, especially under stress conditions such as pandemics, disasters, or energy crises.

In this context, the EELISA Summer School “6G-enabled Healthcare Systems” trains future researchers and innovators to apply 6G communication technologies for resilient, safe, and sustainable health infrastructures.

The activity combines seven preparatory online sessions, with a three-day onsite and hybrid Summer School, hosted by FAU Erlangen–Nürnberg.

As collaboratos, Budapesti Műszaki és Gazdaságtudományi Egyetem (BME), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Universitatea Națională de Știință și Tehnologie Politehnica București (POLITEHNICA Bucharest), İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi (ITU), Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (SSSA) and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (KNU) will hold each one interactive online unit. F

This interdisciplinary summer school, enables the cooperation between professors, researchers, industry, civil organizations and students.

Academic and Research Impact 
The Summer School directly supports EELISA’s Strategic Research Areas (SRAs) on:

– Connectivity
– Artificial Intelligence
– Health Technologies
– Digital Transformation

Additionally, supports partially the Climate, Energy and Mobility as well as the smart industry and space technologies.
Outputs include educational materials and potential seed projects for joint Horizon Europe proposals. Inter-institutional mentoring will catalyse new research partnerships and joint supervision opportunities.

Innovation and Societal Impact 

Real challenges from healthcare providers from healthcare system, municipalities and MedTechcompanies will yield tangible prototypes and data-driven concepts for resilient and low-carbon health networks. The event sensitizes participants to ethics, inclusiveness, and sustainability in technology deployment. Impact will be measured through:

– Number and diversity of institutions and external partners engaged
– Quality and feasibility of hackathon outcomes (jury scoring)
– Participant feedback and credential completion rate

Financial Support

Applicants will be supported in limited numbers from the budget of the winning Joint Call 6 project.
