The Call is closed now - the deadline for Project Outlines (POs) was 30 March 2007.

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.
In ITEA, the
predecessor programme of ITEA 2, we have so far supported 85 projects (of which 55
are completed and 30 are on-going).
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:
- Project Outline (PO) phase (the basic idea)
- Full Project Proposal (FPP) phase (a detailed work plan)
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.
