25 years of ITEA webinar - Türkiye

12 May 2023 | Online

This year, we celebrate 25 years of ITEA, the Eureka RD&I programme fostering software innovation and digital transition through funded collaborative projects. Since nearly 20 years, Türkiye has been a very strong and stable supporting country with over 100 ITEA projects. Thanks to the support of TÜBİTAK and ITEA, many impactful outcomes have been created by Turkish project partners, of which a few examples can be found in the ITEA Impact stream, and many ITEA projects with Turkish participation have received the ITEA Award of Excellence, recognising their high level of innovation, exploitation and impact on business and society.

25 years of ITEA webinar - Türkiye

To continue this success and the creation of impact for Turkish organisations, TÜBİTAK and ITEA have organised the '25 years of ITEA webinar'. During this session, participants were introduced to ITEA and its funding opportunities through TÜBİTAK, learned more from experienced ITEA project participants from Türkiye and you had the opportunity to pitch a project idea and/or organisation and find project partners.
