Welcome


Take note

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.

The illustrations in the provided Wiki pages are for consultation purpose only and may not always reflect the latest implementation. 

This page explains how to add associated persons and provide their details to a participating organisation in the application forms. Associated persons can only be added after the organisation (applicant or otherwise) is added to the project. Depending on the type of application and the role of the organisation, at least one contact has to be provided in the application, but it is strongly advised to add at least two different contacts. It is possible to add up to three Legal Representatives and up to 6 associated persons in total (including the Legal representatives).

The information below must be completed both for the applicant and for any partner/participating organisation.

For information

For KA121 - Accredited projects for mobility of learners and staff in school education, vocational education and training and adult education, KA151 - Mobility of young people for accredited organisations, no associated persons can be added in the form. The associated persons are automatically retrieved from the related accreditation application. and transferred to the National Agency project management system upon submission of your accredited grant application. The associated persons for these actions are not visible in the accredited grant request.

For ESC51 - Volunteering projects application forms, only the Legal representative signing the Declaration on Honour can be added to the form. The Primary Contact is retrieved from the associated Quality Label application, but is not visible in the accredited grant request.

The details of the associated persons can be changed by the National Agency in their project management system, if necessary.

Take note

Please note that for the following action types a contact person for Online language support is required in the form: 

  • KA122-VET - Short-term projects for mobility of learners and staff in vocational education and training
  • KA131-HED - Mobility of higher education students and staff
  • KA152-YOU - Mobility of young people
  • KA153-YOU - Mobility of youth workers 
  • KA154-YOU - Youth Participation Activities

For applications submitted under KA122-ADU and KA122-SCH, the Contact person for Online language support is, by default, the same as the Primary Contact, therefore it cannot be indicated separately in the application form.

For applications submitted under KA121, KA151-YOU, and ESC51-VTJ, the Contact person for Online language support/Primary Contact is retrieved from the related accreditation/Quality Label. 

These roles can be changed by the National Agency in their project management system, if necessary.

Take note

The same person can be both a Legal representative and a primary contact. However, if you indicate a single contact for both roles, you must add at least a second contact person to the application, so that your organisation can be contacted at any time, in case the primary contact is not available.

Up to three persons can be Legal representatives.

Only one associated person can be the primary contact for each organisation.

The Contact person for Online language support is the person who will receive personal credentials by email in order to access the Online Language Support License Management System.
