About ITEA 2

We stimulate and coordinate industry-driven, pre-competitive R&D by bringing together partners from industry, universities and research institutes in strategic projects. We provide the link between funding, technology and software engineering skills.

ITEA 2 is defined as a two-phase programme, with four Calls for Projects in each phase. Duration of projects is three years maximum.

The current set of over a 100 projects (ITEA & ITEA 2) with more than 1000 partners from 27 countries has established a solid basis for further development. Many of these have led to the creation of new products, and some to new start-ups.

At the end of the ITEA programme, more than 10,000 person-years of R&D have been invested. The ambitions of ITEA 2 are to mobilise a total of 20,000 person-years over the full eight-year duration.

The fifth ITEA 2 Call for Projects opened on 1 February 2010. The deadline for Project Outlines (POs) is 26 March 2010.
