The right perspective:
Using the EU-funding as a tool to produce outcomes that are viable on broader free-market will enhance the sustainable impact.
Dissemination of results and sustainability
• Erasmus + project outputs must be freely available (Open access Requirement)• Publicity, digitalization, open license principle, distribution via the
Internet
• enables wider community to benefit from work that hasreceived EU funding
• Promotes organisations’ efforts towards the Erasmus+ objectives
• The project plan should indicate the impact of the project:• to whom? where? how?
• how to identify and measure the impact
• A significant proportion (up to 30% of points) of the assessment points is given for impact and dissemination
• Read more: Programme Guide – Annex II
Important: registration of the participating organisations (PIC)
Registration in Participant Portal• Only needed if your
organization does not have a PIC number already!
• NB! All Finnish HEIs have already a PIC! Do not create a new one! Consultate your HE administration (e.g. international office)
• BUT: All the project partners must have their own PIC number (also enterprises, NGOs etc.)
