SHIA – Sport and Health Innovation Accelerator
SHIA (Sport and Health Innovation Accelerator) is an Erasmus+ project bringing together stakeholders from sport, health, research and innovation to develop new solutions addressing major European societal challenges. It fosters cooperation between universities, businesses and institutions to accelerate sustainable innovation.
SHIA – what are we talking about?
SHIA (Sport and Health Innovation Accelerator) is a European Erasmus+ project coordinated by ADESP. Over 36 months, it brings together 12 partners from 11 countries to build an innovation ecosystem at the intersection of sport and health.
The project aims to bridge the gap between higher education, research and industry by transforming scientific knowledge into market-ready and socially relevant solutions. Through an Innovation Accelerator Programme, SHIA will engage more than 2,100 students and professionals and support over 50 innovation projects. One of its flagship initiatives is the creation of Innovation Villages, living laboratories where universities, companies and public institutions co-create and test innovative solutions in real-world settings. SHIA addresses key European challenges such as healthy ageing, digital transformation, active lifestyles and sustainability. Sport and Citizenship leads the research and needs-analysis activities to ensure evidence-based outcomes and policy relevance.
