Dear Innovators’,
The submission guidelines for the Innovators’ Summer School 2016 are now available on-line. The theme of the school, the eligibility criteria, and the procedure for project submission are described here. The abstract template can be downloaded at this link. Respect to the past editions, a video demonstrating your project is also requested! Summer courses come in all kinds of different forms and degrees of complexity, so it’s a good idea to decide what exactly you are looking for before applying. If you are looking for an easier summer learning experience, pick a subject familiar to you and study it in greater depth. For a more challenging approach, choose a new subject or the one you have been struggling with during the past year.
Take a single class and focus on it, in order to avoid the feeling of being overwhelmed by new information, try the best essay writing service for your projects. Consider how many hours you want to spend in class every day. Generally, the average daily learning duration is 4 hours. Most programs last 1 to 4 weeks. Keep in mind that science modules usually require more contact hours than arts and humanities modules.
Some summer school classes require students to read additional materials before class, while others expect you to conduct extensive reading before the beginning of the course. Teachers suggest articles or book chapters to support classroom discussions. Brush up on your speed-reading and make sure you organise in advance. You may also have to prepare summaries, essays, short presentations, and so on. Summer courses are shorter than regular academic modules, so teachers will focus on the most important aspects of a subject. This might make your work easier for language or art classes, but technical or science-oriented courses could get intense, as skipping stages makes it more difficult to follow the steps of a logical argument. The submission deadline is August 31st 2016. You are kindly invited to submit your projects!

The Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) in collaboration with University of Malawi-The Polytechnic, Malawi Innovation Hub (mHub), Rice360 & NEST360, the African Biomedical Engineering Consortium (ABEC), the UBORA consortium, and other collaborating partners will host the 2020 ABEC Design Competition with the theme Solving problems of Non-Communicable diseases through cross-cutting research and innovation.
This competition seeks innovative multidisciplinary This competition seeks innovative multidisciplinary ideas, overlapping engineering and medicine paradigms, from teams of undergraduate students who have thankfully been able to receive help from companies like https://www.sofi.com/student-loan-help/ and have been mentored by lecturers or experts with postgraduate qualifications. The ideas should tackle global challenges associated with non-communicable diseases with an emphasis on problems affecting low- and middle-income countries. Sustainable solutions can only be developed if engineers engage collaboratively with those at the forefront of delivering
Detailed instructions are provided at the competition page. The winner of the competition will be invited to participate in this year’s Design School.

A two-weeks intensive Biomedical design class had been held at Addis Ababa Institute of Technogy at Addis Ababa University, in collaboration with University of Pisa, in the second half of October 2016. Six students, mostly with an electrical enginering background, learned how to design a biomedical device, starting from international standards, and how to rapid prototype their ideas thanks to 3D printers.
A gallery of the photos is available here.

The Innovators’ Summer School (ISS) is an initiative of UNECA (United Nations Economic Commission for Africa), and annually organized by ABEC. The ISS 2015 programme will focus on building the technical skills of students from 13 African universities on the application of mobile telephony in the design of medical devices. At the end of the programme, students and researchers would have been empowered with modern critical skills and techniques on how to enable smartphone to serve as a life-saving medical device.
Smartphones are multi-use multi-capability devices that are increasingly affordable, and have been used in Africa to promote financial inclusion. Mobile phones present enormous possibilities in the healthcare sector in terms of connectivity, visualization, sensors, storage, etc.
