Basic principles
▪ ITEA projects are industry driven, technically innovative and focused on
business results
▪ ITEA projects involve between 40 and 350 person-years and typically last up
to three years
▪ Project consortia can be composed of representatives from
- large industry
- small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
- research institutes
- universities and
- user organisations (profit or non-profit)
▪ Project consortia need to have at least two different organisations from two
different countries (one must be a EUREKA Member Country and another
one either a EUREKA Member Country or a EUREKA Associated Country)
- Partners from non-EUREKA countries may participate in a project provided all
partners agree

Yearly call process
How to participate?
▪ Consortium building – Project Outline Preparations Days event
▪ Submit a Project Outline (PO)

ITEA success stories

SoRTS - System of Real-Time Systems
Improved cancer treatment
The goal of the SoRTS project was to develop a System of Real-Time Systems to
support healthcare professionals in the transition from invasive, open surgery to
minimally invasive, image-guided intervention and treatment
Start date: January 2014
End date: December 2016
16
SoRTS
Impact
▪ One of the main project outcomes was the Elekta Unity, a
MR-linac system designed to improve the targeting of tumour
tissue while reducing exposure of healthy tissue to radiation.
The system allows physicians to precisely target a tumour,
even when tumour tissue changes shape, location, size or
composition during treatment
- In May 2017, the University Medical Centre (UMC) Utrecht (NL)
treated the first patient as part of a clinical study with Elekta Unity.
Analysis of the first clinically derived data shows that visibility of
the treatment target and radiation beam accuracy is excellent.
In total, five planned patients in a clinical study will receive therapy
for spine metastases.
▪ Boost of productivity and effectiveness of cancer treatment
▪ Reduction of patient risk
▪ Significant decrease of healthcare costs through shorter
hospital stays and higher throughput

MODELISARSetting a global standard in the automotive domain
Modelling and simulation is essential in the automotive industry. The
MODELISAR project developed a worldwide open standard (FMI) to
integrate different simulation environments in the automotive domain
Start date: July 2008
End date: December 2011
18
MODELISAR
Seizing the high ground
BMW, Daimler and Ford started in Q2 2012 an initiative to establish FMI as the
standard for simulation model exchange between OEMs and suppliers
These OEMs as well as Chrysler, Fiat, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, Renault,
Toyota and Volkswagen signed at GAAG conference in Oct 2012 a
commitment to support this initiative
Up to date, it was signed in addition by Audi, HKMC, Honda, Isuzu, PSA, Suzuki,
Tata, Volvo and Volvo Cars
19
MODELISAR
Impact
▪ The FMI standard is currently supported by some 100 modelling, simulation,
code generation and testing tools offered by more than 50 tool - free or
commercial - suppliers
▪ Dassault Systèmes delivered six FMI compatible tools to dozens
of customers who are leading manufacturers of complex
systems like aircraft, cars and energy systems. These ‘open’
tools are key enablers in these companies‘ product development
processes.
▪ FMI reduced the Volvo Cars tool compatibility matrix
considerably to increase the ROI of simulation models. Together
with Volvo Group, they developed a tool for ECU software
development called ADAPT.
▪ Siemens Industry Software NV (Belgium) has created two new
product categories in its business: Virtual Sensing, and
Hardware-in-the-loop & Human-in-the-loop simulations, that
have contributed significantly to entry into new, rapidly growing
markets.

SEAS
Smart Energy Aware Systems
Start date: February 2014
End date: December 2016
The project set out to enable interoperability of energy, ICT and automation
systems at consumption sites, introducing dynamic and intricate ICT-based
solutions to control, monitor and estimate energy consumption
21
SEAS
Impact
▪ In terms of revenues, exploitation short-term (2017) is expected to be €2
million, with medium-term exploitation (2018) anticipated to be €25 million and
long-term revenues (2019 to 2021) as much as €600 million
▪ The DAPM architecture, a result from the SEAS project, has
been chosen by ENGIE as the reference architecture for the
company’s overall service platform. The market potential is
approx. $70 billion.
▪ Empower has incorporated dynamic microgrid strategies into its
future roadmap and has enabled interaction of flexible energy
resources with the Enerim EMS solution. It is deployed now to
enable upcoming datahub enabled retail markets in Finland with
over 45% of the national distribution metering points being
managed by it in the next years.
▪ Asema’s IT solutions use the Smart API to coordinate and share
information between resourcing and planning systems used by
cities. Coordination between departments and organisations can
now be made much more effortlessly and automatically.
