Current ITEA Call for Project proposals
Every year, ITEA opens a Call for Projects, for the submission of RD&I project proposals in the field of software and systems innovation. Each yearly Call starts with a brokerage event, where you can meet potential partners, discuss proposals and build your consortium.
Proposals then follow a two-stage process, the Project Outline and the Full Project Proposal. Finally, the best proposals receive the ITEA label, a mark of quality. With this label, project partners can apply for public funding from their national authorities.
