For the 40 best-ranked projects full-board will be provided for one team member to attend the ABEC Design School 2019 to be held at Uganda Industrial Research Center in Kampala, Uganda, from 7th to 11th October 2018. For the first 28 projects developed by teams from African Institutions, travel grant, from one team member, will be also awarded.

Priority for enrollment will be given accordingly to the final ranking, up to a total of 40 participants. All the participants will be personally contacted by our Management Office, for detailed instructions, regarding travel and accommodation. Finally, we will invite ALL of you to participate in the UBORA e-infrastructure to further develop your projects, which will take you through the design, classification and fabrication process. You will be able to co-create with other designers with the help of mentors from industry and academia. We hope to count on you as pioneers for the design of safe medical devices to enable access to quality healthcare for all.
