Session 1: JOINT SESSION MINT-IISART: Overview of the Rehabilitation Technology Education Landscape – How Can We Join Efforts? / 11:45 - 13:15
In the past, several organizations, such as the IISART education group, the European Robotics Summer School, the CEN, the MiNT Program, the ACRM and the Motus Academy have recognized the need for education in rehabilitation technology. As programs are starting to be developed and implemented, users might find it difficult to know about them, and to select a program that best meets their needs. As the field is still young, most organizers are also basing their program on their own experiences. In this session, we present some of the educational offers and discuss how we can best learn from each other. Speakers will introduce their respective programs. This will be followed by a panel discussion about the common interests and where we can all join forces to improve education for all. Finally, there will be a small “networking” event, where individuals can approach and chat with the representatives from the different programs and discuss opportunities
