Step 1: Register the organisation
All organisations involved in the application must be registered if not already done.
Actions managed by the Executive Agency
To register in the Funding & tender opportunities portal, the person representing an organisation (or an informal group of young people) must carry out the following steps:
- Create an EU Login account (unless the person representing the organisation/group already has an account). New EU Login accounts can be created via the following website: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/cas;
- Access the Funding & tender opportunities portal at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/home and register on behalf of the organisation/group. Guidance and Frequently Asked Questions are available on the Portal.
The organisation/group need to register only once. Once the registration is completed, the organisation/group will obtain a Participant Identification Code (PIC). The PIC, which is a unique identifier and is necessary for the submission of applications, enables the organisation/group to fill-in the application forms in a simpler manner (i.e. by inserting the PIC number in the form, all the information provided by the organisation/group at registration stage will be automatically displayed in the form).
Actions managed by National Agencies
To register in the Organisation Registration system of Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps, the person representing an organisation (or an informal group of young people) must carry out the following steps:
- Create an EU Login account (unless the person representing the organisation/group already has an account). New EU Login accounts can be created via the following website: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/cas/eim/external/register.cgi;
- Access the Organisation Registration system for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps and register on behalf of the organisation/group.
The organisation/group need to register only once. Once the registration is completed, the organisation/group will obtain an Organisation ID.
Organisations that have a PIC and have previously applied for funding in the Erasmus+ or European Solidarity Corps programmes through the National Agencies will be assigned an Organisation ID automatically. An organisation can check its Organisation ID or change some of the information linked to it through the Organisation Registration system for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps.
Like the PIC, inserting the Organisation ID in the form will load all the information provided by the organisation/group at registration stage and display it in the form.
Proof of legal status and financial capacity
As part of the registration process, organisations must also upload the following documents:
- the Legal Entity form (this form can be downloaded from the European Commission’s website at: http://ec.europa.eu/budget/contracts_grants/info_contracts/legal_entities/legal_entities_en.cfm);
- the Financial Identification form. Please fill in the form relating to the country in which the bank is located, even if the applicant organisation is officially registered in another country (this form can be downloaded at: http://ec.europa.eu/budget/contracts_grants/info_contracts/financial_id/financial_id_en.cfm).
For grants exceeding 60 000 EUR, applicants may need to upload specific documents to give proof of their financial capacity. For more details, see the section "Selection Criteria" below.
The Financial Identification form should be provided only for the applicant organisation, but is not required for the partner organisations.
