The ARTEMIS Industry Association would like to encourage ARTEMIS Members to not only participate in the RIA Call but also in the IA Call. RIA differs from the IA in the technology readiness level focus and, therefore, in the applicable reimbursement rates. For more information about the Call information go to the ECSEL Website.
