You will also find on this page all technical issues related to the eForm:
The section E.2 of the German version of the e-form should be read as follows: Welche Rolle hatte Ihre Einrichtung bei der Durchführung des Projekts (bitte fassen Sie Ihre Antwort von Punkt B.2 zusammen)'
Leider hat sich im deutschen Text des E-Formulars ein Fehler eingeschlichen. Im Abschnitt E wird nach der Rolle des Koordinators und der Koordinatoren bei der Planung, der Durchführung und der Kofinanzierung gefragt. Was die Durchführung anbelangt, muss der Formulartext richtig heissen: 'Welche Rolle hat Ihre Einrichtung bei der Durchführung des Projekts (bitte fassen Sie Ihre Antwort von Punkt B.2 zusammen)'
In order to fill in your application eForm properly:
- please carefully read the Instructions for applicants
The document contains useful information on how to fill in the application form and the budget form.
- please carefully read the Culture eForm User Guide.
It contains useful technical information.
The following annexes will have to be attached to the eForm and submitted on-line at the same time:
1/ the detailed description of the project, in word or pdf format (there is no template provided by the Executive Agency).
2/ the signed declaration on honour 
. This document has to be signed, scanned and attached to the eForm.
3/ the estimated Budget form 
The budget form is an Excel 2007 template. There is important information on how to open and work with the Excel template in the Instructions for applicants .
The minimum requirement for Mac users is Office 2004. A known problem for Mac users is that the drop-down menu in column B of the 'Detailed budget by activities' part of the budget form does not appear. As no technical solution for this problem is available for now, we provide the list of values for this field in the first sheet called 'Content of the budget' of the budget formhere . If the values are copied exactly (case-sensitive), the formulas behind the field work.
For information:Daily subsistence allowances
