Objectives
The aim of this course is to provide students with comprehensive knowledge through exposing and debating relevant and current topics in Health and Technologies, with renowned guest speakers. Some of these speakers were involved in the creation of technology-based spin[1]offs; the choice by these teachers aims to demonstrate how new technologies and scientific knowledge can be valued and transfered to the market in the form of new services or technological tools. Within the scope of the doctoral program in Sciences and Technologies in Health and Wellbeing, this curricular unit aims to stimulate students in searching new fields of specialization with socio-economic relevance.
