The essential guide to understanding Erasmus+

Part of Erasmus+

Step 1: Registration

For actions managed by the Executive Agency

To register in the Electronic Submission System of the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, the legal representative of the applicant must carry out the following steps:

  • create a user account, the so-called EU Login account (unless the person representing the applicant already has an account). New EU Login accounts can be created here.
  • access the EU Funding & Tenders Portal and register (if applicable) on behalf of the organisation/group they represent. Guidance and Frequently Asked Questions are available on the portal.

The applicant needs to register only once through the European Commission's Participant Register. 1 Once the registration is completed, the applicant will obtain a PIC 2 . The PIC, which is a 9-digit unique identifier and is necessary for the submission of applications, enables the applicant to fill-in the application form in a simpler manner (i.e. by inserting the PIC number in the form, all the information provided by the applicant at registration stage will be automatically displayed in the form).

For actions managed by the Erasmus+ National Agencies

To register in the Organisation Registration system of Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps, the legal representative of the applicant must carry out the following steps:

Organisations need to register only once. Once the registration is completed, the organisation will obtain an Organisation ID.

Organisations can check their Organisation ID or change information linked to it through the Organisation Registration system for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps.

Inserting the Organisation ID into the application form will load all the information provided by the organisation at registration stage and display it in the form.

Applicants must have explicit consent to use another organisation’s Organisation ID in an application form. Such proof can be requested in case of disagreements and applicants may be disqualified if they are not able to present it.

Proof of legal status

As part of the registration process, applicants must also upload the following documents:

  • Legal Entity form. In the case of applications by a consortium, the Legal Entity Form should be provided by all members of the consortium.
  • Financial Identification form. Please fill in the form relating to the country in which the bank is located, even if the applicant is officially registered in another country. In the case of applications by a consortium, the Financial Identification form should be provided only for the coordinator.

For grants exceeding EUR 60 000, applicants may need to upload specific documents to give proof of their financial capacity. For more details, see the section "Selection Criteria".
