The Law, Economics and Engineering of Advanced Medical Technologies
"The Law, Economics and Engineering of Advanced Medical Technologies" is an international Winter School addressed to graduate students, young researchers and professionals, part of the three-year Jean Monnet Module “European Health Law and Technology/ELaTe”, awarded in the framework of the Call for proposals 2019 – EAC-A02-2019 under the Erasmus+ Programme.
The school expands on the Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology successfully applied in the Winter School "European Health Law & Biotechnology” (February 2021).
Teaching activities will be carried out three days per week and be divided into morning lectures on the fundamentals of European health law, medical devices design, HTA and market analysis. During the afternoon sessions, participants will work in small cross-disciplinary teams (max 4/5 people), centred on the development of a particular medical device. The final examination will consist of the presentation of a project.
Six academic credits (in accordance with the European Credits Transfer and Accumulation System - ECTS) will be awarded upon successful completion of the Course, which requires the attendance of at least 90% of classes and passing the final examination.
Aim
"The Law, Economics and Engineering of Advanced Medical Technologies" is meant to offer participants a state-of-the-art understanding of the European framework for medical technologies.
In the realm of both social sciences and engineering, it is essential to convey the importance of a cross-disciplinary approach and introduce the students to the most relevant issues and competencies in this field. This course—designed as an experiment in cross-fertilization among students and teachers from different backgrounds—is aimed at providing these competencies and skills.
Participants with a background in Law, Economics, and Bioengineering will earn the knowledge and skills required to identify and discuss the issues raised by the development of advanced medical devices, incl. compliance with applicable regulations, risk-management strategies, the individual rights and social interests (either positively or negatively) affected by technological innovation in healthcare.
