Introduction
This Winter School is organized by the University of Pisa as a part of the project funded by the European Commission “AInCP” and by the PNC “Fit4MedRob”. It also has received support from the European Academy of Childhood Disability (EACD) and the IRCCS Fondazione Stella Maris.
This 5-days training course will offer a practical and immersive experience guiding participants through the entire process from the creation to the development of multidisciplinary research projects. The use of new technological and digital approaches and Articial Intelligence methods for the diagnosis and the rehabilitation of childhood disabilities will be envisaged.
The different perspectives coming from clinical, technological, ethical, socio-economical and lived experience will be deeply presented and analyzed in order to achieve a comprehensive knowledge of the various multidisciplinary aspects, specific needs and interconnections for designing and developing successful and exploitable innovative research.
The course faculty will be constituted of international experts in the different multidisciplinary fields covered.
The 5-day course will be organized in:
- Morning sessions: lectures focused on theoretical teaching organized in lectures covering theoretical frameworks, models and challenges;
- Afternoon sessions: practical workshops where participants will be directly involved to practice design and elaboration of joint research in the field;
- Meet the expert sessions (morning and/or evening): dedicated time for personal experience shared by expert in the field.
