ITEA 2, the follow-up to
the successful ITEA programme, is a strategic pan-European
programme for advanced pre-competitive R&D in software for
Software-intensive Systems and Services (SiS).
ITEA 2 stimulates and supports projects that will give European industry
a leading edge in the area of SiS (in which software represents a
significant segment in terms of system functionality, system development
cost & risk and system development time).
ITEA2 ambition is to mobilise a total of 20,000 person-years over the full eight-year period of the programme, requiring a significant increase in investment . This ambition is based on experience in ITEA, the need to further close the gap in R&D investment (3% of GDP, Lisbon objective) and the ever growing importance of SiS.
As one of the main EUREKA cluster programmes ITEA 2 has close links with other EUREKA projects and the Framework Programmes of the European Commission. Our projects are supported financially by all 36 members of the EUREKA framework.
The partners within a consortium engaged in an ITEA 2 project are funded partially by the governments of their respective countries, according to national funding procedures. I
