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. 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.
