Call for EELISA ITU Communities

The EELISA communities are mission-driven working groups that bring together students, teachers, and researchers from all partner universities with prestigious professionals, grassroots organisations, citizens, private companies, and public institutions to find innovative solutions to real-world challenges.

As part of the EELISA European University several communities have been founded by the EELISA members and new ones will be added soon. The total number of communities of EELISA project is limited and timing is important.

While many ITU members already take roles in the existing EELISA communities, it is also critical to lead the foundation of new communities, since joint-community calls will be published soon and the activities of the communities will be funded by the EELISA budget to ensure that EELISA communities can sustain their teaching and research activities. Accordingly, as the ITU EELISA team, we invite you to get in touch with EELISA academics/researchers and lead the foundation of new communities, in addition to joining the existing ones.

Unlike many other international projects, the EELISA European University project is a very dynamic process, where 9 universities from 7 countries conduct pilots, develop prototypes, and learn together to create an innovative European University model. Due to the huge amount of daily information flow, we are designing an 'ITU EELISA Engagement Board' which will allow us to share more efficiently the daily progress and various EELISA opportunities with you. Please note that we will be continuously updating the following Miro Board until the end of the EELISA project. This is part of our efforts to make EELISA an 'Open Project' that allows any motivated ITU member to be part of. Please visit the board (blue row) to see the process of starting a new EELISA community.
