How to submit your project?
You can submit your project online in one of the official languages of the European Union by using the EIPP feature.
In order to ease the validation process of your application, it is highly recommended to submit it in English.
For projects submitted in a language other than English, the European Commission will provide a free translation of your application in English which will also appear on the Portal along with the original version.
5 STEPS to submit a project to the Portal
1. Log in to EIPP
You can log in to EIPP by visiting the homepage. In order to log in you can use an EU Login account.
2. Complete your user profile and accept the Terms and Conditions
To complete your project application, please fill in all the necessary information needed for the user profile and accept the Terms and Conditions. This step is necessary to proceed with the next stages, as shown in the picture below.
3. Declare your organisation
To create your organisation, please enter your organisation name, as well as organisation and administrative details.
If you are a consultant working for several organisations, you can create your clients' organisations and manage their projects. You can consult the list of all your organisations under the tab "My organisation(s)".
4. Create your project
To create a project, fill in the sections: project description, project financing, web links, map view and contact.
5. Submit your project
To submit your project, please make sure that you have filled in all mandatory fields and clicked on the button "submit".
As a final step, click on the button "confirm".
All projects which you have created, no matter their status, are visible under "My project(s)".
Please be aware that you need to submit the appointment letter of the Project Appointed Representative (P.A.R.) before the final publication of the project.
What happens with your project after the submission?
Supporting documents
Once you have submitted your project, the EIPP team starts the screening process. During the screening process, you might be asked to provide additional information (updates, confirmations, documents etc.).
Supporting documents can be uploaded for both organisations and projects in the relevant sections.
Invitations of members
If you are the first individual who has submitted an application for your organisation, you will cover the role of "organisation contributor". Additional members of the organisation can be invited using the appropriate button. New members will receive an email allowing them to log in to the Portal. Organisation members can, among other things, submit new projects or consult saved data.
You can also invite persons to read about your project. An invitation will be sent by email containing a login link. A project reader has a read only access to the specific project.
Publication of your project
Once the screening process is finalised and your project is ready to be published, the EIPP team will inform you about the publication and further steps, if necessary.
