For our Pledgers following the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative we would like to draw your attention to this opportunity.
EIT Health Education recently announced the launch of the “EIT Label Accreditation for Healthcare Education”, which is now open for applications from training programmes that are shaping the future of healthcare education.
What is the EIT Label?
The EIT Label is a European quality seal awarded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), and certifies education programmes that integrate innovation, entrepreneurship, and real-world application into their design.
At EIT Health, this is reinforced by their Competency Framework, which is a set of eight core competencies across both technical and cross-cutting skills, and developed with industry and academic partners.
Why you should accredit your programme
Accreditation is the process of evaluating the quality of a programme. It not only ensures that educational high-quality standards are met but also provides constructive feedback to help organisations improve their educational offerings.
The EIT Label confirms that your programme delivers high-quality, market-relevant training that equips professionals with the skills needed for innovation that will tackle today’s healthcare challenges.
Benefits of the EIT Label accreditation
- Seal of excellence – it showcases your commitment to top-tier educational standards
- Boost your credibility – gain recognition from students, peers, and stakeholders across Europe
- Access the European market – position your programme within a trusted, internationally recognised ecosystem
- Feature in the EIT Health Education Catalogue – expand your reach through EIT Health’s platforms and communication channels

Are there any costs involved?
Accrediting your programme through EIT Health involves a standard fee, which contributes to the expert-led evaluation, quality assurance processes, and administrative support involved in maintaining high educational standards.
