ITEA 2 Symposium 2007
Our 2007 Symposium took place in the Berliner Congress Center (bcc) in Berlin, Germany on Thursday 18 and Friday 19 October. It provided 466 participants with a unique opportunity to gain an insight into one of Europe 's most important and strategic ICT initiatives.
Using ICT to deal with societal challenges
The symposium programme was scheduled around this year’s overall theme: ‘Using ICT to deal with major societal challenges’. On Thursday, our executive team presented programme achievements, progress to date and looked ahead. On Friday, presentations included industrial and political viewpoints on the symposium theme and the role of ITEA 2.
Focusing on practical results
At the exhibition team members of 45 ITEA / ITEA 2 projects and 22 Non-ITEA booths demonstrated the impact of their work. Three selected projects presented their results in the plenary session on Thursday afternoon: AGILE, AMEC and HD4U.
ITEA Achievement Award 2007
The ITEA Board instituted the ITEA Achievement Award to reward high-level technical contributions based on true European collaboration that leads to significant results and thus further promote the programme and its goals. Each year this prestigious honour highlights a highly successful project that represents best practice. Major factors in deciding are innovation, exploitation and dissemination. The ITEA Achievement Award 2007 was presented to the winning teams during the symposium dinner on Thursday evening. The Bronze Award went to the project team of HD4U, the Silver Award to AGILE, and the Gold Award to the project team of AMEC.
Exhibition Award 2007
The Exhibition Award 2007 went to the team that communicated the purpose, objectives, goals, and – if already possible – achievements and results of its project in the most understandable and vivid way. The Bronze Award went to the project team of AGILE, the Silver Award to ANSO, and the Gold Award to the project team of NUADU.
