Welcome
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.
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.
Select Participating organisations or Applicant organisation in the Content menu, depending on the key action and type of your application.
The Participating organisations screen opens.
As you add organisations to the application, the number next to Participating organisations and Consortium members (where applicable) is updated.
Take note
Applications must be submitted to the National Agency in your own country unless an exception is stated in the Programme Guide. If your organisation has an exceptional status that links it to another country's Authority, please contact the National Agency in your country to confirm the status of your organisation before submitting the application.
In the Participating organisations section scroll down to Applicant organisation.
If the entered Organisation ID is not found, an error message is displayed.
If the entered Organisation ID is obsolete, meaning it has been replaced with a different OID for the same organisation in ORS and in the National Agency project management system, a warning message is displayed and the obsolete OID is automatically replaced with the newer one in the application form.
To complete all required subsections for the organisation, click on the organisation name in the Content menu.
The Participating organisations details screen opens.
Scroll down the page to see a number of subsections. Some subsections are prefilled, others need to be filled in. The available subsections depend on the type of application.
In our KA130-HED example we see:
This section is prefilled with information from the Organisation Registration system.
Depending on the action type and type of institution, the Accreditation section for the concerned application may be required.
If the accreditation requirements have already been fulfilled, the Accreditation details are displayed.
If the institution is not accredited for the action type, you are requested to select whether your organisation is a Higher Education institution.
Depending on the answer, either accreditation is not required or an error message is displayed.
See the page Associated Persons in applications for more details on how to complete this section of your application.
Depending on the application form, you may need to fill in additional sections.
In this example, you must fill in the Background and experience section. Provide the required information in the available fields.
If you are applying on behalf of a consortium you need to add the Organisation ID and details of each of the members of the consortium. The options differ depending on the action type.
Please note that a number of requirements for the consortium are listed and must be covered to complete the application. These will be shown as red error messages, which disappear as the various requirements are fulfilled.
Take note
Consortium members must be from same country as the applicant organisation.
This option is available in application forms for KA121 - Mobility for learners and staff of accredited organisations in school education, vocational education and training, and adult education and KA130-HED - Erasmus accreditation for higher education mobility consortia.
Select Participating organisations in the Content menu and scroll down to Consortium members.
For each consortium member you wish to add, click the Add a consortium member button in the bottom right corner, then enter the Organisation ID.
In the Content menu the organisation name and Organisation ID of each consortium member is now displayed under Consortium members.
After having added the Organisation ID for all consortium members, complete the remaining details for each organisation as described under Complete organisation details above.
In Erasmus+ projects developed under KA121 - Mobility for learners and staff of accredited organisations in school education, vocational education and training, and adult education, you have the possibility to retrieve the consortium partners from your accreditation project (either already valid for the current Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) or submitted for the current call year). To do so:
Select Participating organisations in the Content menu and scroll down to Consortium.
Click on the Load previous list of consortium members button, then click on YES in the pop-up message to confirm the action. A message is displayed, containing the project code of the accreditation project where the consortium partners were retrieved from, and a reminder that personal information about contact persons and legal representatives cannot be retrieved automatically due to data protection rules, therefore all contact persons must be added manually to the relevant organisations in the current application form. Click OK to close the message.
In the Content menu, the organisation name and Organisation ID of each consortium member added this way is now displayed under Consortium.
The consortium composition for the current application can be changed at any time: you can remove (1) any of the previous consortium members or add new consortium members using the Add a consortium member button (2), as explained above under Add consortium member option.
Tip
Use the download icon in the Actions column to download the accession form for each of the consortium members, then upload the completed documents in the Annexes section of the application form.
After having added the Organisation ID for all consortium members, check/complete the remaining details for each organisation as described under Complete organisation details above.
This option is available in higher education projects (KA131-HED - Mobility of higher education students and staff, K171-HED - Mobility of higher education students and staff supported by external policy funds).
In higher education consortium applications, the consortium members are retrieved from the KA130-HED accreditation project once the Organisation ID of the applicant organisation is provided.
Here is an example of a consortium application where the Organisation ID of the Applicant organisation has already been filled in.
Under Mobility Consortium, click in the Accreditation Reference field to display all valid higher education mobility consortium accreditations (KA130-HED) from the current MFF as well submitted consortium accreditation applications (KA130-HED) for the current call year, where you are the applicant. Select the relevant accreditation to be used in the current KA131-HED or KA171-HED application. The consortium members are automatically retrieved and displayed.

If you provided a Mobility Consortium Name in the Consortium Description section of your KA130-HED accreditation application (as of Call 2024), the name is also displayed here.
Use the download icon in the Actions column to download the accession form for each of the consortium members, then upload the completed documents in the Annexes section of the application form.
Once the Organisation ID has been filled in for an organisation (applicant, consortium member or partner), one or more of the following options are available for the participating organisations, depending on the key action and the organisation role in the application:

The Organisation ID is to be provided in the Accreditation section of the form instead of the Participating organisations section. The Organisation ID is then automatically filled in the Participating Organisations screen. See the page Accreditation for more details.
Note: The organisation needs to have a valid accreditation (KA120) for the current MFF or a submitted accreditation application form (KA120) from the current call year for the applicable field before filling in the application for KA121 - Accredited projects for mobility of learners and staff in school education, vocational education and training, and adult education.
As in KA122, in projects developed under KA121 the applicant can work with supporting organisations that are or are not registered in the Organisation Registration system. The latter do not hold any Organisation ID. Please see further below for more details.
The section in the Content menu, and in the title of the page is called Applicant Organisation, not Participating Organisations.
Note: The organisation needs to have a valid accreditation or a submitted accreditation application form (KA150-YOU) before filling in the application for KA151-YOU - Accredited projects for youth mobility.

If you answer Yes, and your consortium is duly accredited or you have submitted an accreditation application for the current call year, you must select the accreditation project code from the Accreditation reference drop-down list. If you are part of more than one consortium, all the accreditation project codes will be displayed in the Accreditation reference field, and you must choose the applicable accreditation for this application. Once the relevant accreditation is selected, the consortium members are automatically displayed under Consortium members.
Tips
If you provided a Mobility Consortium Name in the Consortium Description section of your KA130-HED accreditation application (as of Call 2024), the name is also displayed here.

For all projects developed under KA122 the applicant can work with supporting organisations that are or are not registered in the Organisation Registration system. The latter do not hold any Organisation ID.
If you plan to use supporting organisations you have to select Yes for the statement My organisation plans to work with other supporting organisations that are not going to host our participants, but are going to help with the implementation of activities.
After having added supporting organisations, provide the required explanation in the field:
How are the supporting organisations going to help with the implementation of your project?
In the example below we have added a supporting organisation.
For all applications to KA152-YOU, KA153-YOU, KA154-YOU and KA155-YOU:
As of Call 2024 there is a limited number of applications your organisation can be involved in, as applicant or partner, for a particular action type and round. This limit is specified in the Erasmus+ Programme guide for each action type.
In Application forms, a check is performed on the number of draft and submitted applications your Organisation ID is listed in. Once the limit of forms is neared, the applicant organisation will receive a warning message onscreen and the authorised users of your organisation are notified by email. The notification will include a list of all applications submitted for the relevant action type and round, where the Organisation ID is listed as either applicant or partner.
Once the applicable limit of submitted applications for your action type and role in the application (applicant or partner) has been reached, all future submissions in which your organisation is involved will be blocked for the given action type and round.
Applications that have been reopened contribute to the predefined limits for each action type, as they have previously been submitted at least once.
KA152, KA153 and KA154 projects require an applicant organisation and one or more partner organisations. No accreditation and no consortia are required.
Each application form includes a section to fill in the basic details for the applicant and the first partner. Add more partners as applicable by clicking the Add partner organisation button at the bottom right corner of the screen.
