On March 11, 2026, the ITI Study Club Games Opening Ceremony officially launched an exciting new chapter for the global ITI community. Hosted by the ITI President Ronald Jung, with special guests Charlotte Stilwell, Nikos Mattheos, and Kevser Pala, the live broadcast was a vibrant experience, sparking energy, inspiration, and a strong sense of connection. The ceremony also featured the reveal of the ITI World Symposium 2027 scientific program, building anticipation for what lies ahead and linking the Games directly to the ITI’s most significant global events.
One of the highlights was the official kickoff of the Games journey, as the 40 ITI Sections were assigned to one of five topical disciplines and the Section-level Games got underway. The excitement was amplified by a lively lucky draw, which kept viewers engaged until the very end and added a fun, celebratory twist to the launch. Altogether, the Opening Ceremony perfectly captured the spirit of the ITI Study Club Games: learning, collaboration, friendly competition, and a vibrant global community.
