ATHIKA will build a set of advanced training programs for Higher Education Institutions involving academia, public health administration, health business , startups, consultants and entrepreneurs. The variety of profiles of ATHIKA partners will provide a complete perspective of the sector and will enable the identification of urgent challenges in the health sector. These entities will guide and coach students during the program and afterwards in a competition in which the students from different HEIs will collaborate in the development of novel technical and ethically-compliant solutions. ATHIKA will combine the training and competition activities with a set of 4 workshops and a final symposium for the presentation of the project results and the exchange of knowledge and lessons learned among the partners, students, and external health sector stakeholders all across Europe.

Consortium partners are committed to promoting innovative technological education and improving know-how in the design, management, and planning expertises and competencies needed to initiate and boost ATHIKA.
ATHIKA Mission
Exploring how a humanistic dimension can be introduced to engineering education in relation to healthcare-related technologies.
The ATHIKA consortium will develop an innovative educational programme, offering a humanistic approach to engineering education while addressing the most important new research in the realm of AI and IoT related to Healthcare.
ATHIKA will provide a complete perspective in engineering education and will allow for identifying the most urgent challenges in the health sector. It will also train students, developers of advanced health information systems, and business and political decision-makers to be aware of the deep moral implications of technology as they are conditioning people’s lives, personal identities, and freedoms –most fundamental human rights.
