• Step 1. First, search your organization in the Database in case you have registered before for any other EU funded programme. Enter the title of organisation in English, fill in captcha code and search. In case your organisation has previously been registered for any other EU programmes (Research Framework or other), it will appear in the list, as follows:

      PIC 934119022   Ministry of Education and Science of Republic of Armenia   Yerevan   AM   DECLARED   

• Step 2. Create an EU Login (formerly ECAS) account (unless the person representing the organisation/group already has an account). New accounts can be created via the following website:
  https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/cas/eim/external/register.cgi
  You can learn more about registration at EU Login Authentication Service from the European Commission’s Manual.

• Step 3. Access the Participant Portal at http://ec.europa.eu/education/participants/portal/desktop/en/organisations/register.html, register with your EU Login account details and get your unique 9-digit Participant Identification Code (PIC). We recommend checking first if your organisation already has a PIC and that you read the Participant Portal User Manual before you register.

You PIC status can be SLEEPING, VALIDATED or DECLARED. Your organisation cannot apply for Erasmus+ funding if your PIC is in SLEEPING mode. Please make sure to have your PIC VALIDATED when applying for Erasmus+ funding or provide your VALIDATED PIC to your applicant organisation. 

If your organisation has several PICs (for e.g., several departments have simultaneously registered before) or you have not found the LEAR (contact person responsible for PIC) in your organization or you have any other technical questions, please contact the following email:
EC-GMSS-EDUCATION-SUPPORT@EC.EUROPA.EU
Once you have completed all the required registration steps please refer to  Erasmus+ Programme Guide to check the compliance with the Programme criteria and financial conditions.
