EU Login, OID and PIC: how to register as an Erasmus+ participant

• If your organisation has previously been an applicant or a partner in Erasmus+ projects for which the application was submitted to EDUFI or the Executive Agency in Brussels, you can use the code created previously. 
• All higher education institutions (HEIs) already have both an OID and a PIC. An accreditation identifier, the ECHE identifier (Erasmus Charter for Higher Education), has also been linked to HEIs’ code. HEIs must use the already existing identifier. 
• Check the identifier you need to use either from the persons responsible for projects in your organisation or group, from the contact person for OIDs and PICs, or directly from the registration system. In unclear cases, you can always contact EDUFI. Please note that the OID and the PIC are obtained from different systems.

To obtain an OID or a PIC, you will need an EU Login username.

EU Login is an authentication system for users of the European Commission’s information systems. You can use it to log into the Commission’s different web services with one email address and password.

The EU Login username is personal and gives you access to

• the Organisation Registration system,
• the application portal and
• when you have been awarded funding for your project, to the project administration tools.

You need to obtain the EU Login username only once and can use a username that has been created before.

Add the annexes as soon as possible

When you register, you will receive the OID or the PIC straight away.

You can add the mandatory annexes slightly later. The National Agencies or the Commission will check the organisations’ details after the applications have been submitted and the information must be available for them in the system. Please note that a grant agreement cannot be concluded for the project without the mandatory annexes.

Annexes

Fill in, print and sign the required annexes and scan them to your computer. Upload them to the registration system.

For organisations, only a person authorised to sign on behalf of the organisation may sign the forms. For informal groups of young people, the documents must be signed by the contact person.

• fill in the contact person’s details and have the form signed
• attach a copy of the contact person’s personal identity card or passport.
