Oxford Biodesign at The University of Oxford is proud to be hosting the European Biomedical Engineering–Innovation, Design and Entrepreneurship Alliance (BME–IDEA) meeting on 26th & 27th June 2019 in Oxford.

This year the focus will be on toolboxes for innovation, design, technology transfer and entrepreneurship within Biomedical Engineering Education. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear about tools that have been developed to support need-led innovation education. Alumni will also have the opportunity to exchange knowledge with participants of other programs and to learn from each other.

The conference will be split into two halves - the first day focusses on presentations and Q&A sessions, the second day will be based around a series of workshop going into a number of tools in detail in an interactive environment.

To support networking and collaboration in the evening of the first night there will be a walking tour of oxford and a sit down dinner at St Hildas College.

The BME-IDEA meetings started in 2003 at the University of Stanford to: • Review the experiences of different university programs involved in innovation, design, technology transfer and entrepreneurship in biomedical engineering education • Discuss objectives, challenges, and opportunities for further development of these programs – including industry and academic perspectives • Explore the potential for sharing resources and creating community-wide tools (e.g., web portal, national design contest, etc.) This event is made possible thanks to the support from EIT Health and EIT Health Alumni.
