ITEA PO Days 2022 &
ITEA Family reunion

The ITEA Community is coming together again!

300+ potential project partners | presentations of innovative project ideas | dynamic workgroup sessions | constructive consortium building | best practices

Call 2022 for project proposals will open on 13 September 2022 in conjunction with the ITEA Project Outline Preparation Days (ITEA PO Days) in Helsinki on 13 and 14 September. And as we are finally able to come back together again with the ITEA Community, an ITEA Family reunion is being organised back-to-back to this event, starting in the afternoon of 14 September until lunch on 15 September.

ITEA Family reunion

During the past two and a half years we found new ways to connect as a Community, coming together virtually for conferences and meetings to keep building and strengthening the connections that lead to successful innovation projects. We have all adapted to new ways of working, but real connections are best made when meeting personally. And so an ITEA Family reunion is being organised on the back of the ITEA PO Days. A day that will be a combination of good old-fashioned networking and fun starting in the afternoon of 14 September until lunch on 15 September.

We will be hosting inspiring and lively sessions with SMEs in the spotlight and well-respected ITEA Family members followed by the opportunity to reunite for drinks, a dinner and a long-awaited chance to socialise. We are looking forward to meeting you there.
