Dear partners ,

I am writing to you to ask you if your organisation would like to be involved in an Erasmus+ Capacity Building in the field of youth. You can find more information on Erasmus+ here: http://eacea.ec.europa. eu/erasmus-plus_en

Here you have a short summary of our project "eFloV" :

Our organisation would like to apply for an 18 months project on IT that would involve youth workers from European and non-European countries. The aim of the project is to create (a) projects database (for workcamps/LMTV), (b) a volunteer’s management system. The project will focus on a group of youth workers selected from all countries involved, in the domain of volunteering and youth active citizenship.

If your organisation would like to be involved as a partner in this project, the first and the most important thing we would need form you to apply for an Erasmus+ grant is your organization’s PIC number. If you don’t have it yet, below you can find a detailed description about how you can get it. All our partners’ PICS are mandatory to download the application form.

Deadline for you to send documents 1st of April, Wednesday, to eflov@servicevolontaire.org


Thank you for reading all this email. I’m looking forward to hearing your reply.
Best regards,
Ettore, project coordinator


How to register for a PIC:
The following steps must be completed before you can use the application e-form of your National Agency to apply for a grant.

1) Create a ECAS account
A person with legal responsibility from your institution must create an ‘ECAS account’ (ECAS = European Commission Authentication Service). With this account you will have access to different password protected websites of the EU. You can register for a new ECAS account here: https://webgate.ec. europa.eu/cas/eim/external/ register.cgi
Complete all mandatory fields (marked with an asterix), including a valid e-mail address. You will then receive a link via email to create your password (within 1h30). You only have to register once for an ECAS account.
The UK national agency has also produced a video guide to getting an ECAS: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=1jkLGRAEaDo

2) Register your school or organisation at the European participants portal:
http://ec.europa.eu/research/ participants/portal
a. Click on the menu item "Login" top right
b. On the next page choose "External"
c. Enter your ECAS username and password, and submit.
d. You will be guided to your personal participant portal website
e. Top left in the navigation menu select "MY AREA" then "My Organisation(s)".
f. Click the button on the bottom of the website "Continue registration" and follow the next steps.
g. At the end of the registration process your organisation will get a specific nine-digit PIC (Personal Identification Code) - this PIC will identify your organisation in every forthcoming application.
