NeurotechEU Blended Intensive Program: Robotic Rehabilitation and BCI Applications
Taking place from 24 August to 4 September 2026, this 4 ECTS Blended Intensive Programme combines online and on-site learning, focusing on exploring cutting-edge developments at the intersection of neuroscience, robotics, and digital health. This course is jointly organized by Boğaziçi University, Université de Lille, Radboud University, Universidad Miguel Hernández and Reykjavik University.
The programme is designed around three main objectives:
- To introduce key concepts in musculoskeletal biomechanics and pathologies affecting human motion, mobile robotics and navigation, medical soft robotics and exoskeletons, wireless sensors, and brain-computer interfaces
- To support the development of entrepreneurial thinking, while encouraging ethical, responsible, and purpose-driven innovation
- To provide hands-on experience in a professional research environment, where students will work on practical solutions to real-life challenges alongside experts from the R&D sector
The course follows a blended learning format, combining virtual preparation with an intensive on-site experience.
Virtual component: 24 - 28 August 2026
Physical component (on-site in Istanbul): 31 August - 4 September 2026
