Erasmus+ Programme Guide

The essential guide to understanding Erasmus+

How to submit an Erasmus+ Application?

To submit an Erasmus+ project, applicants must follow the four steps described below:

  1. Registration. Each applicant must be registered as follows:
    1. For actions managed by the Executive Agency, applicants, affiliated entities and associated partners must register in the EU Funding & Tenders Portal and receive a Participant Identification Code (PIC) 1 . Organisations/groups that have already obtained a PIC through their participation in other EU programmes do not need to register again. The PIC obtained from this previous registration is valid for applying under Erasmus+
    2. For actions managed by National Agencies, applicants must if not already done, register through the Organisation Registration system for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps and receive an Organisation ID (OID)
  2. Check the compliance with the programme criteria for the relevant Action/field
  3. Check the financial conditions
  4. Fill and submit the application form

Content of grant applications

The content of a grant application will depend on the specificities of the call and the electronic platform used (see “Step 4: Fill in and submit the application form” below). In general, a grant application will contain the following elements, which can be requested at different stages of the application process:

  • information on the legal status of the applicant, including whether it is a non-governmental organisation
  • Declaration on Honour on absence of an exclusion situation and on compliance with the eligibility and selection criteria
  • information necessary to demonstrate the applicant’s financial and operational capacity and/or supporting documents to this effect, if needed
  • description of the action or work programme and an estimated budget, if needed; and
  • indication of the sources and amounts of Union funding received or applied for in respect of the same action
     
  1. PIC is a mandatory information in the application form. ↩ back
