Registration in the Participant Portal

Before submitting an electronic application, applicants and partners will have to register their organisation in the Education, Audiovisual, Culture, Citizenship and Volunteering Participant Portal and receive a Participant Identification Code (PIC). The PIC will be requested in the application form.  Information on how to register can be found in the portal under the following address:

http://ec.europa.eu/education/participants/portal/desktop/en/organisations/register.html

Guidance and Frequently Asked Questions are available on the Participant Portal.

To access the Participants’ portal, you will need your EULogin username and password. If you already have an EULogin account, you may use this, if not, create an EULogin account.

Please note that a number of African Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) already have their PIC validated. Applicants are invited to check whether they and their partners already have this code before creating a new one in order to avoid duplicates and delays at subsequent stages.

Here you can find a LIST of all the validated PICs of African organisations, including HEIs, as updated on 31 May 2016  (Uploaded 02/06/2016)
