Before starting your application:

1. Read the call for proposals / Erasmus+ Programme Guide / Instructions for completing the Application Package carefully.

Applicants must create an EU Login account. If you already have an EU Login account, use your e-mail address to sign in; otherwise click here to create an EU Login account. When you have created your EU Login account, return to this page.

You are now ready to start the application process:

1. The applicant and all partner organisations must be registered in the Participant Portal. Organisations that register in the Portal receive a Participant Identification Code (PIC) that will be requested in the electronic application form. To access the Participants' portal, you will need your EU Login username and password.

Given that each applicant organisation should use only onePIC code, please first check with your institution (e.g. legal representative's office, etc.) whether such a PIC number has already been created for your organisation. For your convenience the Erasmus charter holder's list provides you with the corresponding PICs of HEIs from the Erasmus+ Programme Countries.

If you already have a PIC, you may use it to create your electronic application form. Please also note that at application stage the PIC status can be either "Validated", "Declared" or "Sleeping". In case of double reference for one and the same organisation, the "Validated" PIC should always be considered.

Create your official electronic application form, also called the eForm.Use the official application package and the correct application eForm for the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees – Partnership with Japan action (please refer to the eForm and Annexesnavigation tabs on the left).

The KA1 - Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees – Partnership with Japan 2019 eForm will be available soon. For information, the Agency will post a static version of the EMJMD eForm so that applicants can familiarise themselves with its structure and content.

For practical details on how to use the Participant Portal and subsequently create your eForm, please consult the following presentation.

Completing your application

1. Fill in the eForm with the required data.
2. Do not forget also to complete and attach the four (4) mandatory attachments to the eForm. For that, please refer to the Annexes navigation tab to download the relevant templates.
3. Furthermore, if considered relevant for the proposal, the optional attachment: "Other relevant annexes" should be attached as well.
4. Once you have completed the eForm and attached the annexes, validate the eForm. This triggers an automatic check that informs you if your application package is complete. If this is the case, you can submit it online. Otherwise you will have to review the error messages and make the necessary corrections before submitting the eForm again.
5. When you have submitted your application online, the applicant organisation should receive a confirmation email and reference number. If not, please contact the HelpDesk.

Please DO NOT SEND A COPY of the e-form and the attached documents neither by email nor by post to EACEA.

Applicants may wish to send for information purposes a copy of their EMJMD application to their International Erasmus+ Contact point(ICPs) set up in the National Agencies of the Programme Countries.
