    Gemeinsam Lernen unter einem D-A-CH. Innovation in der Gesundheitsversorgung interprofessionell!

    Apply here

    Entwickelt als interprofessionelles Team ein innovatives Gesundheitsförderungskonzept für und mit Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen. Diskutiert auf Basis des bio-psycho-sozialen ICF-Modells über Gesundheits- und Sozialsysteme im deutschsprachigen Raum.

    Details

    Course Content

    Studierende aus dem D-A-CH-Raum entwickeln interprofessionell ein innovatives Gesundheitskonzept für eine Person mit gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen und Anliegen an eine gesundheitsfördernde Lebensweise. Sie identifizieren Akteure in der Primärversorgung und reflektieren deren Interaktion mit Patient:innen. Sie analysieren Potenziale sozialer und gesundheitlicher Innovationen im österreichischen und internationalen Gesundheits- und Sozialsystem mit Fokus auf interprofessionelle und telemedizinische Lösungen.

    Kollaborative Online-Lehre dient als Zugang, um regionale, personen-zentrierte, interprofessionelle Versorgung zu vermitteln und kulturelle/strukturelle Besonderheiten zu verstehen. Reale Patient:innen sind Teil des Lehrendenteams, um ihre persönliche Zielsetzung und eine umfassende konzeptionelle bio-psycho-soziale Sicht auf Gesundheitsförderung und Krankheitssekundärprävention anhand von ICF-Komponenten zu berücksichtigen.

    Der fallbezogene Lernprozess umfasst: Eine Kick-Off-Veranstaltung zum Kennenlernen, Vorbereitungsaufträge zu den Fällen, den Gesundheitssystemen und Sicherstellung von ICF-Grundkenntnissen, sowie online-Arbeit in interprofessionellen, internationalen Kleingruppen, um mittels des Design-Thinking-Prinzips (Diamond-Ansatz) innovative, personenzentrierte Lösungen zu entwickeln, auf nationale Regionen zu übertragen und kritisch zu reflektieren. Für Zusammenarbeit, Vor- und Nachbereitung nutzen die Studierenden die Online-Plattformen Zoom und Miro.

    Further information

    Ein Kernelement der Lehrveranstaltung ist die Einbindung realer Patient:innen, die als Co-Lehrende im gesamten Lehrprozess (Vorbereitung, Durchführung und Evaluierung) mit persönlichen Erfahrungen eingebunden sind und für Fragen und Feedback zur Verfügung stehen. Das Lehrbeispiel beginnt mit einer 1,5 bis 2-stündigen Kick-Off-Veranstaltung zum Kennenlernen und Erklärung der Konzepte und Arbeitsaufträge, einschließlich einem ersten Austausch innerhalb der Kleingruppen. Gegebenenfalls ändert sich die Gruppenkonstellation noch leicht. Vorbereitungsaufträge im Eigenstudium: • Fallbeschreibungen auf der Grundlage der ICF (Internationale Klassifikation der Funktionsfähigkeit, Behinderung und Gesundheit) als biopsychosoziales Modell werden zur Verfügung gestellt. • Studium der Gesundheitssysteme in Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz (Literatur/Video). • Ausgewählte Kapitel des ICF-eLearning-Tools für ICF-Grundkenntnisse. Online-Zusammenarbeit in interprofessionellen, internationalen Kleingruppen nach dem Design-Thinking-Prinzip (Diamond-Ansatz) unter Nutzung digitaler Tools (insb. Zoom, Miro). • In Phase eins (Entdecken und Definieren) geben die Patient:innen tiefergehende Einblicke in ihre Fallbeschreibung. Durch die Anliegen der Patient:innen geleitet fokussieren sich die Studierenden auf bestimmte ICF-Komponenten (auf Aktivitäts- und Partizipationsebene). Sie identifizieren Schnittstellen zwischen den verschiedenen Professionen und den Anliegen der Patient:innen. • In Phase zwei (Entwickeln und Umsetzen) erarbeiten sie personenzentrierte Lösungen (beispielsweise für den Weg zum Supermarkt und das Einkaufen im Geschäft) und eruieren strukturelle, regionale Anpassungen sowie die Finanzierbarkeit der Lösung. Sie reflektieren ihre Lösungen kritisch in der Kleingruppe und mit den Co-Lehrenden. Abschließend bereiten sie das Konzept für die Patient:innen und ihre Reflexion final auf.

    • Studierende aus dem D-A-CH-Raum entwickeln interprofessionell ein innovatives personen-zentriertes Gesundheitskonzept für eine Person mit gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen und Anliegen an eine gesundheitsfördernde Lebensweise, um ein möglichst langes unbeschwertes Leben zu Hause zu führen (L6).
    • Sie identifizieren gesundheitssoziale, technische und strukturelle Akteure in der Primärversor-gung. Dabei beziehen sie fall- oder szenario-bezogen Aspekte der Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention auf der Micro-Meso-oder Makroebene der digital inklusiven Gesundheits- und Pflegelandschaft ein und reflektieren deren Interaktion mit dem Netzwerk rund um Nut-zer:innen / Patient:innen (L5).
    • Sie sind in der Lage, Potenziale sozialer und gesundheitlicher Innovationen im österreichischen und internationalen Gesundheits- und Sozialsystem zu identifizieren und Handlungsoptionen für eine sozial inklusive, therapeutische und medizinisch-technische Praxis mit besonderem Fokus auf interprofessionelle und telemedizinische Lösungen für gesellschaftliche Herausfor-derungen zu analysieren (L4).

    Rising Stars of our Regions

    In the middle of Europe, in the very heart of Germany, lies the UNESCO Rhön Biosphere Reserve. Due to its panoramic views, the low mountain range is also called “Land der offenen Ferne” (Engl. land of open horizons). That is where the Bootcamp 2026 takes us this year, to immerse ourselves in a regional challenge far away from the everyday rush of campus life.

    At night, the sparsely populated region offers an impressive view of the starry sky. Known as “Sternenpark” (Engl. International Dark Sky Reserve), the region is one of the darkest areas in Germany at night and provides an exceptionally natural and unspoiled night sky.

    Fulda itself has been recognized as “Sternenstadt” (Engl. Dark Sky City), the first city in Germany to receive this title. This means that the city consciously reduces light pollution, allowing the stars to remain visible in the city’s night sky. Together with students from all over Europe, we draw inspiration from the starry sky and build on our diverse backgrounds to develop sustainable solutions for a viable Europe of the future.

    The stars span the sky above the Rhön without boundaries. Their light illuminates the intersection of the three federal states of Bavaria, Hesse and Thuringia in Germany. The Rhön region serves as a compelling backdrop for our Bootcamp. Historically a borderland, it has often been overlooked despite its significant potential for development and cultural enrichment. This area embodies the East-West divide that shaped Europe during the Cold War, and today, it reflects a blend of diverse identities influenced by varying political systems and regional infrastructure.

    Europe is currently experiencing a resurgence of nationalist tendencies that threaten to deepen divisions between communities. In this context, the Rhön exemplifies the need for cooperation across former, existing or apparent borders. The stars, which are particularly visible here, serve as an inspiration for boundless creativity and the pursuit of harmony despite differences. Together we shine as guiding stars for a strong and united Europe.

    Is the Bootcamp the right event for me?

    ✅ The answer is simple: Yes! The Bootcamp is open to students from any background and offers you the chance to actively take part in designing the future of Europe. You will experience an innovative and creative working environment with support and motivation from our coaches and external stakeholders where you will learn to develop an idea from a problem into a solution with impact.

    ✅ You will leave the Bootcamp with a deepened knowledge of design thinking, the Rhön region, new friends from the E³UDRES² partners, and last but not least, a better knowledge of yourself.

    FAQ

    The E³UDRES² Bootcamp is a co-creation format, where students from different backgrounds and different countries work together to develop a common solution for current regional challenges under the guidance of mentors and experts. This year, the Bootcamp will take place under the inspiring night sky in the heart of Germany.

    This format takes place online and on-site in Germany. Travelling to Germany for the on-site week is necessary.

    Applying to participate in the Bootcamp does not guarantee a spot. Your application will be reviewed by your home institution and a final selection of participants will be made.

    The full Bootcamp experience comprises the following parts:

    • Mandatory online session(s) in June & preparational self-study tasks

    • On-site Bootcamp in Germany where physical participation is compulsory. The event takes place from Monday, 29 June 2026 to Friday 03 July 2026. Participants need to arrive on Sunday 28 June 2026 in Fulda. The Bootcamp starts in Fulda on Monday morning. In the afternoon, all participants will travel together to the Rhön. There, we will spend four days focusing on developing solutions, enjoying nature, and getting to know our fellow students. We will take advantage of the numerous opportunities to explore the Rhön as a balance to the intensive work phases. The event location, where participants will also be accommodated, is about a 45-minute walk from the nearest town.

    • A Personal Reflection & Team’s Project Report are to be submitted after the on-site Bootcamp is over

    All students from E³UDRES² partner universities can participate – no matter which study programme or background! Also, no prior knowledge is necessary.

    Financial support is provided to participants depending on your home institution’s policies. The Bootcamp 2026 will be partially financed through an ERASMUS+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP). For more information, please contact your institutional contact persons (see question below)

    • Sunday-Monday: Participants need to book their own accommodation in Fulda. Rooms are reserved at Hotel Esperanto in Fulda (85€ including breakfast). Participants will receive a booking code after selection.

    • Monday – Friday: The venue is located in the Rhön region, about a 45-minute walk outside of Bischofsheim in der Rhön. The accommodation from Monday-Friday is fully organised by the host. This accommodation is compulsory for all participants. The rooms are equipped with 2 beds (284 € + small administrative fee) or 4 beds (332€ + small administrative fee) and are separated by gender. The costs for the accommodation (including full board) need to be paid directly by you in cash or EC card at the venue’s reception.

    • Travel: All travel arrangements must be organised independently by the participants. Start and end point of the programme is Fulda (arrival date: Sunday 28 June; event closing date: Friday 3 July) 

    You can reach out to your local E³UDRES² team at your home institution for any questions regarding the Bootcamp. Alternatively, you can also reach us at office@eudres.eu.
