Welcome

This page is relevant for:

  • Erasmus+ Call year 2024
    • KA1 - Mobility of individuals
    • KA2 - Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices 
  • European Solidarity Corps Call year 2024
    • ESC30 - Solidarity Projects

This page explains how to add the applicant organisation and where applicable, organisations of all consortium members or partners to your application form.

Please note

In KA151 this section in the Content menu and in the title of the page is called Applicant Organisation, not Participating Organisations.

The content of the Participating organisations section depends on the Key Action and action type you are applying for.

For most key actions you must first specify details about the Applicant organisation: first the organisation ID, which must have been specified in the Organisation Registration system, followed by the Profile of the applicant organisation, Accreditation information (if applicable), associated Contact persons from the organisation and Background and experience of your organisation. 

For key actions where partner organisations and/or a consortium are foreseen, the same information must be specified for each partner organisation/consortium member, if not already done during an existing accreditation for the applicable key action.

How to add organisations to an application

Below we have detailed how to complete the section, as well as examples of specificities for certain key actions. 

Information

Questions or fields may vary depending on the action you apply for. Please read the onscreen information carefully to complete the relevant fields and sections.

 

Before you start

  • All previous sections of the application must have been completed.
