On 2 October, the School of Engineering at the UAB hosted the opening day of the programme, bringing together students and mentors to form the first teams and begin a ten-month journey to turn ideas into real solutions.

The new company originating from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Centre for Computer Vision (CVC) has developed a digital tool that helps neurosurgery teams identify the areas of the brain that need to be preserved during tumour removal. The project has been developed in collaboration with the Neurosurgery Department at Bellvitge University Hospital and the Cognition and Brain Plasticity research group at IDIBELL, and has been used to date in 31 neurosurgical procedures, 19 of which took place at Bellvitge University Hospital.

Registration is now open for iFest Bootcamp, a 35-hour programme based on design thinking to solve real-world challenges. UAB undergraduate students who complete the training can earn 2 ECTS credits.
