It is only possible to become an ITI Fellow by nomination.
Nominations for fellowship may only be made by ITI Fellows with at least four years seniority. Each nomination must be supported by two additional ITI Fellows. A letter of nomination accompanied by the candidate's CV and two letters of support, respectively need to be addressed to the ITI Section & Membership Core Group and sent to ITI Headquarters. The letters must provide details of the candidate's high level of activity in at least one of the designated areas.
All documentation must be provided to ITI Headquarters at the latest six weeks prior to the upcoming ITI Section & Membership Core Group meeting.
