The Horizon 2020 growth strategy states that the competitiveness and innovation potential of European enterprises relies on fostering and harnessing new skills in innovation and creativity in the European workforce. One such area is the medical devices sector. It is recognised at Commission level that there is greater need for increased sharing of European best practices in this area, increased transfer of experiences gained in pilot projects to multinational or European level, and greater collaboration between stakeholders [clinicians / engineers/ entrepreneurs / notified bodies] in the innovation process. This project will involve development and pilot-testing of a next-generation online personalised learning environment which will incorporate the BioApp skills “toolbox" [http://www.bioapp.eu], with a view to extending structured innovation skills in design to European HEI students and SME learners. The primary endpoint will be an online platform tailored to the skills and educational/training requirements of HEI organisations which will address equally traditional HEI deficiencies [e.g. structured creativity/innovation skills, device regulation, intellectual property protection] as well as SME training needs [the teaching of structured innovation skills]. Completion of a user-targeted needs analysis report, and a consultation process with HEI and SME stakeholders, will allow for targeted response to different stakeholder needs. The partner consortium consists of experts in medical device engineering and medical education, alongside a regulatory consultancy and SME partner at the cutting edge of developments in online e-learning platforms. Targeting prioritised areas for both HEIs and SMEs, we believe that this specialist e-learning tool will apply in a systematic manner the principles of medicine and engineering for the use, adaptation, evaluation of projects and/or distribution of technological and medical solutions that will lead to improvements in medical device innovation in Europe, and foster greater interaction between the HEI and SME sectors.
