The program is divided into two periods:

  • Online Program: March 3 – May 30, June 30 – July 11, 2025.
  • Onsite Week: July 21–25, 2025 in Salerno, Italy.

During the onsite week, participants will visit the collaborating organization, define and present projects, and engage in social and cultural activities.

Learning Approach

The digHuman consortium adopts a Challenge-Based Learning approach, encouraging students to tackle real-world interdisciplinary challenges relevant to their lives.

  • Synchronous and asynchronous learning
  • International interdisciplinary teamwork
  • Focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration

Interactive discussions, brainstorming, and teamwork will be key components of the program, helping students receive immediate feedback and prepare for complex challenges.

Academic Recognition

Participants will receive a 6 ECTS certificate of participation.

BIP organized by the University of Salerno – Personal Health Data Management

Within the Neolaia consortium, the Department of Computer Science is organizing a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) on the topic of "Personal Health Data Management", an interdisciplinary initiative involving experts in computer science, healthcare management, data security and privacy regulations.

Course objectives

The program aims to provide participants with:

Skills in the use of ICT technologies for the collection, processing and visualization of personal health data.

Knowledge of health data lifecycle models and best practices for their management.

Strategies to make digital health solutions more effective and adoptable by users.

Insights into the issues of data security and privacy, in compliance with the GDPR and other regulatory frameworks.

A practical experience through collaborative projects that connect theory and application.

Program structure

The course is divided into two main components:

  • Virtual phase (June 9-20, 2025):
    • Independent study with asynchronous materials (videos, articles, online resources).
    • Synchronous sessions on Microsoft Teams for in-depth analysis and Q&A.
    • Open seminar with industry experts.
