Since 1996, an international series of telework workshops has been conducted to promote academic research in the domain of telework and other new forms of work, and to encourage exchange between researchers and practitioners in the field. In order to further strengthen this research basis, a preparatory committee was set up in June 2003 to prepare for the launch of an International telework Academy, which successfully took place at the 8th International Telework Workshop in São Paulo, Brazil in August 2003.
It is with great pleasure, therefore, that the inaugural Board of Directors announces the official launch of the International Telework Academy (ITA) and calls for all interested parties to register as members of the ITA mailing list on the Academy’s Web Page.
