Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme 2020

Guidelines

Please read carefully the Call for proposals guidelines before filling in the application form.

How to Apply

Applications must be submitted in accordance with the admissibility requirements set out under Section 5 and by the deadline set out under Section 3 of the Call for proposals Guidelines. Please also consult the submission procedures in Section 14 of the Call for proposals Guidelines.

Registration in the Funding & tenders opportunities portal

Before submitting an electronic application, the lead applicants and all co-applicants (the partner HEIs from Africa and the EU Technical Partner) will have to register their organisation in the Funding & tender opportunities Portal hosted in the Funding & Tender Opportunities Portal and receive a Participant Identification Code (PIC9-digit number), serving as the unique identifier of their organisation in the Funding & tender opportunities Portal. The PIC will be requested in the application form. Guidance on how to register can be found on the Funding & tender opportunities Portal.

Please note that a number of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) already have their PIC validated. Applicants are invited to check whether they and their partners already have a PIC before creating a new one in order to avoid duplicates and delays at subsequent stages.

Submission of the grant application

Applications must be submitted online using the correct application form (eForm).

Please note that only the on-line submission of the eForm and its Annexes will be considered as the formal valid application. Applications submitted by fax or e-mail will not be accepted.

To access the eForm and its user guide, please click on the tab “Eforms” on the left menu.

To access the templates of the mandatory Annexes, please click on the tab “Annexes” on the left menu.

The eForm must be downloaded and saved on a local disk. Please read carefully the instructions on how to apply with the eForm and the minimum IT requirements before you start downloading the eForm. Once you have completed the eForm and uploaded the annexes, you need to validate it. This triggers an automatic check that informs you about any errors that prevent the submission. In case of no errors, the submit button will be enabled and you can then submit your application. Once the application is submitted, you will receive a confirmation email with an application reference number. If not received, please contact the helpdesk.
