History

The International Academy of Teleworking (ITA) has its origin in the international foundation of teleworking (fit), an independent non-profit association that began in 1999. Since 1996 a series of international events led to the promotion of research on teleworking and other ways of working and challenged the exchange between researchers and teleworkers. Some of the previous workshops have been held in various places such as: London, Amsterdam, Turkia, Tokyo, Stockholm, Badajoz, Sao Paulo, Krakow, Crete, Argentina, Greece, and Costa Rica. The result of these has been the publication and edition of books of high academic standards.
