Welcome


This page is relevant for:

  • Erasmus+ Call 2023
    • KA210 - Small-scale partnerships 
    • KA220 - Cooperation partnerships 

This page provides an overview on how to fill in and submit a Progress or Periodic Report using the dedicated functionality in Beneficiary module, in order to submit the report. Only beneficiary project contacts with edit rights in the project can fill and submit the report while the project is in status Project ongoing.

The illustrations on this page are based on examples from a Periodic report in a KA220-ADU - Cooperation partnerships, call 2023.


Beneficiaries may be asked to submit a periodic or interim report accompanying the request for an interim payment. In other cases, beneficiaries can be as well requested to submit a progress report informing on the state of implementation of the project. Progress reports do not trigger a further payment. The interim and the progress reports must be submitted by the deadline indicated in the grant agreement.

During the project life cycle and before the submission of the final beneficiary report, the National Agency can request the Interim, Progress or Periodic report(s) from the beneficiary.

Under KA171-HED - Mobility of higher education students and staff supported by external policy funds, call 2022 and 2023, beneficiaries will be asked to submit the interim report (2022) or periodic report (2023), informing the NA about the project status and, in some cases, accompanying the request for a further pre-financing payment. The report must be submitted by the deadline indicated in the grant agreement. 

Under KA210 - Small-scale partnerships and KA220 - Cooperation partnerships, call 2023, beneficiaries will be asked to submit a periodic or progress report, informing the NA about the project status and, in some cases, accompanying the request for a further pre-financing payment. The report must be submitted by the deadline indicated in the grant agreement. 

An email notification is sent to the contacts of the beneficiary organisation when the interim/progress/periodic report request is launched. The relevant report can then be completed and submitted from Beneficiary module. 

For KA171 Interim reports, please see How to complete and submit a KA171 Interim or Periodic Report.

Before you start filling the report, please familiarise yourself with the basic report functionalities explained on page Basic functionalities in report forms in beneficiary projects.
