Step 1: Registration

All applicants must be registered if not already done. 

For actions managed by the Executive Agency:

To register in the Electronic Submission System Funding & Tender Opportunities 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 via the following website
  • Access the Funding & tender opportunities 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:

Inserting the Organisation ID in the form will load all the information provided by the applicant at registration stage and display it in the form
