European Innovation Residency: Research on Sensory Prosthetics
The European Innovation Residency develops innovative tactile and electrotactile human-machine interfaces for prosthetics. Researchers from Trier University of Applied Sciences and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Italy) combine expertise in electrotactile stimulation, neurotechnology, and biorobotics to create new feedback systems for more precise and intuitive prosthetic control. Industry partners such as Ottobock and I.R.C.C.S. Ospedale San Raffaele provide practical application opportunities. Joint lab work, clinical perspectives, and open interfaces generate innovations that link research, medicine, and industry. The residency concludes with a transfer conference presenting results and fostering sustainable European collaborations.

Microdegree „Interactive Human-Machine Interface“
The Microdegree offers interdisciplinary skills in prosthetic control, tactile interfaces, and AI systems. Students work in international project teams on real industry challenges, test solutions in summer schools in Italy and Germany, and develop skills in teamwork, presentation, and knowledge transfer. Modules on innovative action, entrepreneurship, and fundraising complement the program.
