9. Force majeure flag - see below for details

Click on the relevant tab below to view examples of the Group activity section in different projects. 

2.3.1. "Force majeure" flag

Force majeure is:

Any situation or event that prevents organisations and individuals from fulfilling their obligations in the implementation of the project activities.
This situation or event has to be unforeseeable, exceptional situation and beyond the parties’ control. The force majeure cannot be due to error or negligence of the organisations or other participants involved in the action, and proves to be inevitable in spite of exercising all due diligence. 

_{Source: Erasmus+/European Solidarity Corps programme guides 2025, Glossary}

Force majeure situations can arise anywhere and at any time, and include factors such as sudden disease, accidents, death, earthquakes and other causes.

In a project, check the Force majeure flag to indicate that a project activity (i.e. mobility activity, group activity, participations, events, transnational project meetings, etc.) is considered as a case of force majeure.

When you check this flag (tick box), certain fields and grants for the activity may be affected and must be checked and/or updated.

In addition, you must fill in the additional Force majeure explanations field, describing the facts that prove the activity should be accepted as a case of force majeure.

The following fields and grants are affected at group level in case of force majeure: 

• Inclusion support for organisations in the Participants summary section: The field becomes editable, and you can provide a new amount. If any values were already present, they are preserved.
• Organisational support in the Participants summary section: The field becomes editable, it switches to zero, and you can provide a new amount.
• Total travel grant in the Travel details section (subgroup): The field becomes editable, it switches to zero, and you can provide a new amount.
• Total individual support grant in the Individual support section (subgroup): The field becomes editable, and you can provide a new amount. If any values were already present, they are preserved.
• The minimum and maximum Duration (Days) restrictions will no longer apply.
• The minimum and maximum Duration for individual support restrictions will no longer apply.

2.4. Fill in the "From / To" section

2.4.1. Sending and Receiving organisations

Select the Sending organisation and the Receiving organisation from the applicable drop-down lists. The Sending country and Sending city for each organisation are prefilled automatically with those registered in the Organisation Registration system (for organisations with an OID) or in the project (for organisations without an OID). These are the default locations, and can be changed manually in the project.

For call year 2024, the following rules will apply, for outgoing activities:

• Sending organisations:

  • For KA121, where Accreditation type = Accreditation for an individual organisation, and for KA122, for all the activity types (except "Invited Experts" or "Hosting teachers and educators in training"), the Sending organisation is read-only and equal to the Beneficiary organisation.

  • For KA121, for all the activity types (except "Invited Experts" or "Hosting teachers and educators in training") where Accreditation type = Accreditation for a mobility consortium coordinator, the Sending organisation selection will not display organisations with the role Other.

• Receiving organisations:
  • For KA121/122, for all the activity types (except "Invited Experts" or "Hosting teachers and educators in training") the Receiving organisation selection will display only organisations organisations with the role Other.
    

If the selected receiving organisation is flagged as Supporting organisation in the organisation details, a non-blocking warning message is displayed below the field, providing additional context. 

For all subgroups in a Group mobility activity, the sending country and the destination country will be the same.

2.4.2. "Supporting organisation" drop-down list (call 2024 only)

In KA121 and KA122 projects from call year 2024, the field Supporting organisation is displayed below the Receiving organisation, in the From-To section of mobility activity or group activity details.

Initially, the default value is None. 

Click on the field to display a drop-down list, which includes all organisations participating in the project (flagged as Supporting organisations in their organisation details). See Organisation role in mobility activity for details.

Select the supporting organisation, as applicable. 

A tooltip is also available, for more information: "The difference between the receiving organisation and supporting organisation is that receiving organisations provide actual learning content to the participants, while supporting organisations only assist in practical and logistical matters."

2.4.3. Multiple sending organisations (KA121, call 2024 only)

In KA121 projects, if the beneficiary organisation has the Accreditation for a mobility consortium coordinator, you can add multiple sending organisations to a group mobility activity, allowing you to configure group mobilities that involve multiple cities of departure.

Click on the Add Sending Organisation button, to add up to 10 organisations from the ones participating in the project. 

After pressing the button, a new line is displayed, allowing you to add information regarding the new sending organisation. Select one option from the drop-down list. The list will display the organisations available in your project. The Sending country and Sending city for the chosen organisation are prefilled automatically with those registered in the Participating Organisations screen, yet the Sending city field is editable.

After adding the 10th organisation, the Add Sending Organisation button will become unavailable. If needed, you can also delete any additional sending organisation, by clicking on the recycle bin button.

2.4.4. "Activity at a seat of an institution of the European Union" flag (call 2023, 2024 only)

The option Activity at a seat of an institution of the European Union is available in the From-To section of the group activity details, for KA121 and KA121 projects, calls 2023 and 2024, if the selected Receiving Country is either Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, France, or The Netherlands.

By choosing this option, if applicable, you indicate that the group activity takes place at the seat of an Institution of the European Union (located in Brussels (Belgium), Frankfurt (Germany), Luxembourg (Luxembourg), Strasbourg (France), and The Hague (The Netherlands)). 

2.5. Fill in the "Duration" section

1. Fill in the Start date and End date of the Group mobility activity. These dates must be within the project dates, indicated by the Project Duration bar at the top of the field.
2. The Group mobility activity Duration (days) is calculated automatically and it does not include the travel days (the duration must not exceed 30 days).
3. If the activity is a Blended mobility activity, check the applicable flag.
4. The Number of days in virtual mobility activity is displayed if the Blended mobility activity flag is ticked. Specify the applicable number of days allocated for the virtual activity. There are no duration constraints for the virtual component of the activity, and it is not taken into account in the Duration (days) or in any other budget calculations based on the physical duration of the activity.

2.5.1. "Blended mobility activity" flag

Blended mobility activity refers to an activity combining a physical mobility activity with a virtual mobility component. 

In Beneficiary projects, the Blended mobility activity flag can be checked to indicate that a Mobility activity/Group mobility activity is carried out in a blended format (physical activity abroad combined with a virtual component). The availability of the flag depends on the action type of your project.

If this flag is checked, you may also have to provide details about the virtual components in other sections of the (group) mobility activity screen, depending on the action type of the project. 

2.6. "Participants" section

In the Participants section, you will be able to create the subgroups of participants taking part in the Group mobility activity, with details for each subgroup. The list of Subgroups for budget calculation is displayed and is initially empty.

Provide the required information in the following fields:

1. Average age - provide the calculated average age of the participants in the Group mobility activity.

2. Lead accompanying person details - provide the email, the last name and the first name of the lead person.

   The Lead accompanying person will be required to fill in the participant report for the entire group, even in case of Force majeure. Make sure the email address provided is correct, as this address will be used to send the invitation to the participant report.

3. Number of participants for organisational support - this field will be pre-filled if one or more subgroups have already been added to the Group mobility activity, but you can enter a lower value; the number of organisational support participants cannot exceed the total number of the participants in the subgroups. This field is not mandatory. 

The available fields for Inclusion support, such as Inclusion support for organisations, are read-only and show initially 0 values. They are updated and calculated automatically, based on the subgroup information for Participants with fewer opportunities you provide. The amount for Inclusion support for organisations cannot be changed manually, except in cases of force majeure. 

At the bottom of the section you can also view the Organisational Support grant. This grant will be calculated automatically, based on the subgroup information you provide. This amount cannot be changed manually, except in cases of force majeure.

2.7.1. "Incoming international participant (under special conditions)" flag

In beneficiary projects, the Incoming international participant (under special conditions) flag available in, i.e. mobility activities, physical events, participations, etc. indicates that the mobility activity involves a participant that has left Ukraine due to the war and has carried out or is carrying out an activity, i.e. in an eligible participating country. This flag may change the standard conditions regarding the sending and receiving countries, as well as certain grant calculations, depending on the action type of your project.

2.7.2. "Inclusion support for organisation not requested for all participants with fewer opportunities" flag

If applicable, you can use the Inclusion support for organisation not requested for all participants with fewer opportunities flag to request organisational inclusion support only for some of the participants with fewer opportunities in the Group mobility activity.

When the flag is ticked, the field Number of participants for inclusion support for organisation becomes available and it must be filled in. The calculated Inclusion support for organisations is updated based on your input. 

2.8. "Participant Report" section

In this section you will be able to monitor the status of the participant report and, if needed, resend the invitation to the Lead accompanying person to fill in the report. Initially, the section is empty.
