If this is the case, you may use this PIC code to create your electronic application form.
2. If not, your organisation should register in the Participant Portal. To access the Participant Portal, you will also need your EULogin username and password. Applicants should attach in the Portal:
   
   1. Legal entity form accompanied by the statutes of the applicant organisationb.
   2. Financial identification form duly completed and certified by the bank
3. Create your official electronic application form, also called the eForm (please refer to the eForm section).

Completing your application

1. Do not forget also to complete the compulsory annexes to the eForm.
2. Once you have completed the eForm and attached the annexes, validate it. This triggers an automatic check that informs you if your application form is complete. If this is the case, you can submit it online.
3. When you have submitted your application online, you should receive a confirmation email and reference number. If not, contact the helpdesk.

Please DO NOT SEND A COPY of the e-form and the attached documents by post to EACEA.
