The Call for proposals "Support to the implementation of EHEA reforms" (EACEA 28/2016) is restricted to National Authorities for Higher Education in Erasmus+ programme countries. Those National Authorities wishing to apply for a grant have been invited by email to submit applications online by 9 September 2016, 12:00 noon (midday, Brussels time) to the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency in Brussels. 

Before starting your application:

1. Read the documentation, mainly the Restricted Call for proposals, Instructions for completing the Application Package and the eForm users' guide carefully.

2. Applicants must have an ECAS (European Commission Authentication Service) account. If you already have an ECAS account, you may use it, otherwise, click here to create an ECAS account. When you have created your ECAS account, return to this page.

You are now ready to start the application process:

1. The applicant and the affiliated entity (if applicable) must be registered in the Participant Portal. Organisations that register in the Portal receive a Participant Identification Code (PIC) that will be requested in the application form.

Given that each organisation should use only one PIC code, please first check with your legal representative's office whether such a PIC number has already been created for your organisation. 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 ECAS username and password.

Applicants should attach in the Portal:

a. Legal entity form accompanied by the statutes of the applicant organisation

b. Financial identification form duly completed and certified by the bank

3. Create your eForm: https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/PPMT/

Completing your application

1. Do not forget 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. Please refer to the Annexes section to download the templates of annexes.

3. When you have submitted your application online, you should receive a confirmation email and reference number. If not, contact the helpdesk: eacea-helpdesk@ec.europa.eu

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