ITEA 2 supports coordinated national funding submissions within the EUREKA framework and is a major contributor in the European Research Area (ERA). Our programme is open to partners from large industrial companies, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as research institutes and universities.

ITEA 2-labelled projects are bottom-up, industry-driven initiatives, involving complementary R&D from at least two companies in two different EUREKA countries. Projects involve between 40 and 300 person-years and typically last up to three years. Consortia should include partners from the three main categories: large industries, SMEs and universities/research institutes.

It's our goal to reinforce the position of European industries through the labelling of innovative, pre-competitive, industry-driven R&D projects in software for software-intensive systems and services that will pave the way for quick implementation of practical products, systems and services.

That's why, in the evaluation of project proposals which is based upon the state-of-the-art in the domain, innovation as well as dissemination and future exploitation of the results (with a special focus on their impact on standards) are all important criteria. As long as they remain pre-competitive, projects may include a phase encompassing test beds for enabling the validation of concepts, implementations and/or services.

Each ITEA 2 Call follows a standard two-step procedure:

Once approved, proposals receive the ITEA 2 (EUREKA-endorsed) label, which can be used to support applications for national funding. For details contact your National Public Authority.
