Through the eHealth Eurocampus project IT and health professionals were trained for the challenge of fostering a spirit of innovation in eHealth in Europe as the way forward to ensure better health and better and safer care, and relevant material was developed and is now available for other schools to benefit from it. The main objectives of the eHealth Eurocampus were to improve the relevance and quality of higher education in the field of ICT applications for health, to foster employability through curricula adaptation to labour market needs and to develop entrepreneurship skills. The project partners included 8 higher education institutions, which represented 7 IT schools (Barcelona School of Informatics, Polytechnic School of the Balearic Islands, Polytech Engineer School of Montpellier, ISIS Engineering School of Castres, Glyndwr University of Wales, Hochschule Ulm, and the Department of Computer Science of the University of Cyprus) and 3 medical schools (Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the Balearic Islands, Medical School of Cyprus, Sant Joan de Déu School of Nursing - Barcelona), a regional centre of technological development and entrepreneurship promotion (Bit Foundation of Mallorca), and a European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC Euroregion Pyrenees-Mediterranean). The consortium represented different European health management systems, which was an asset to form professionals aware of the European diversity in this area and prepared to adapt themselves to different environments and to find jobs outside their own country.The eHealth Eurocampus implemented new and innovative teaching methods that were previously tested through three Summer Schools and are now available to be used on different master courses. They cover all the main areas of eHealth: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in eHealth, IT for a Longer Independent Life, eHealth Applications and Tools, Robotics for Healthcare, and Graphics and Medical Imaging.The project direct beneficiaries were IT and health students and teachers, who have received special training, as well as patients in general, in particular elderly people and people with physical and cognitive disabilities, who will benefit from the outcomes of the research conducted within the consortium. The results and dissemination activities were designed to ensure that the eHealth Eurocampus has an impact on both participating and outside organisations. All the results are openly accessible through a specific website, which will make it easy for other universities to exploit the methods and materials developed within the project: http://ehealtheurocampus.eu/ Version en français en annexe: eHEC_SUMMARY.docx
