Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is once again asking interested international researchers and their teams to participate in the Open Research Challenge to contribute to comprehensive medical care concepts. The focus of this year’s global online competition lies on personalized Medical Engineering in Gait Disorders – inviting advanced master students, doctoral candidates or postdoctoral researchers to research intelligent solutions supporting medical experts with personalized and disease-specific visualizations of gait impairments, even though the doctor is not present.
Titled IMAGINE (Innovative Medical Application on Gait using Intelligent Engineering), the challenge asks researchers to submit a walking-visualization-tool of gait sequences based on given inertial sensor-based gait recordings acquired using intelligent engineering technology developed at FAU. The innovative visualization tool should help medical experts to get a visual impression of the gait impairments experienced by their patients - not only during ambulatory visits to the hospital but also during everyday life in the patients’ home environment.
The winners of the challenge are invited to an all-expense-paid one-week trip to Germany to showcase their innovative solution and meet the professors behind the challenge in October 2017. For more information as well as the rules of the challenge and the submission requirements, please visit our website: https://openresearchchallenge.org/.
About the Open Research Challenge
The “Open Research Challenge” intends to boost interest in German research, but also to enable international researchers to collaborate with their FAU colleagues and international partners in their fields of interest. With this competition specifically designed for ambitious young academics, the FAU also wanted to stress innovation and creativity, the key properties of successful researchers.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
