For actions managed by the European Education and Culture 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 an 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 After the registration is processed, the applicant will obtain a PIC. The PIC is a 9-digit unique identifier necessary for the submission of applications. It enables the applicant to fill-in the application form more easily (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:

• create an EU Login account (unless the applicant has an account). New EU Login accounts can be created here.
• access the Organisation Registration system for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps and register (if applicable) on behalf of the organisation/group they represent

Organisations should register only once. Once the registration is processed, the organisation will obtain an Organisation ID (OID).

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

Entering the OID into the application form will automatically fill in 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 OID 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.

Multiple registrations for an OID by the same entity and the use of multiple OIDs by the same entity may qualify as misrepresentation under the EU Financial Regulation and lead to the entity’s rejection from the affected award procedures by the National Agency.

As part of the registration process, applicants must also upload an Identification Form, which can be downloaded from the European Commission’s website, to ORS. Three types of the identification form are available, depending on the type of applicant (natural persons, private companies or public law bodies).

The identification form is subject to a privacy statement (pdf) and to a subsequent validation by the National Agencies. 

In the case of applications by a consortium, the Identification Form should be provided by all members of the consortium.

However, the banking details need to be provided only for the coordinator. The form must be filled in with reference to the country in which the bank is located, even if the applicant is officially registered in another country.
 

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".
