Key Action 1

Organisations intending to apply for grants under the “decentralised” actions of the Erasmus+ program should take into account the following:

Program guide: Read the program guide to familiarize yourself with the regulations of the action for which you are applying for funding.

Training by the national agency: Attend training events organised by the national agency, during which you can receive information about the action you are interested in, the funding opportunities that fall under this action, the application process and the application itself.

If needed, look for partners on the following platforms or through your participation in training and cooperation activities:

• European School Education Platform (ESEP)
• Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe (EPALE)
• Training and Cooperation Activities
• Erasmus+ Mobilities (Erasmobility)
• Erasmus+ Project Results Platform

Any organization wishing to apply for accreditation or a grant under Erasmus+ or the European Solidarity Corps must first register with the ORS organization management service in order to receive a unique identification code (OID). This code is used to submit any application/participate in any application within the framework of the Erasmus+ Program (Decentralised Actions). To register your organization, follow these steps:

• Create an EU Login account, which is linked to the general email address of the organization you represent
• Connect to the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Platform, using the above account details
• Select “Register my Organisation” to access the ORS service (after first making sure your organisation is not already registered).
• Follow the steps described here, to register your organization.

Note: In case your organization is already registered and you wish to update its registration details, follow the steps that are located here.

Useful Guides

Go International – A practical guide for the internationalisation of schools, VET and adult education providers

The Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps platform is the single access point for the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programs for the period 2021-2027. It allows for the submission of applications for grants and accreditations for decentralized actions, as well as the creation/management of an organization’s registration.

To access the online application form, you must be logged into the platform using an EU Login account.

Note: The EU Login account used to access the online application form does not need to be the same as the one used for registering the organization in the ORS service.

Once you have access to the online application form, you are expected to complete it according to the instructions provided in the relevant guides.

Please note that applicants are permitted to open, modify, and resubmit an application that has already been submitted, until the submission deadline expires.

Link for Application Submission 

Applications submitted to the National Agencies undergo an eligibility check. Applicants can refer to the Programme Guide and the detailed list of eligible organisations for each field to ensure compliance with eligibility criteria.

Eligible applications go through a multiple  submission check, as explained in the Programme Guide.

Applications that successfully pass these checks proceed to a quality evaluation, which varies depending on the specific rules and regulations of each Action.

Applicants receive an official letter of acknowledgement of results. Additionally, once the selection process is complete, the National Agency publishes the results of the Call on the official Erasmus+ website.

If an applicant is not in agreement with the evaluation process, they may submit an appeal, following the procedure outlined on the IDEP website.
