1. Introduction
 The formerly called Unique Registration Facility
(URF), hosted in the PP under the “organisations”
tab, supports the validation of legal entities via:
•
•
•

Data submission and documents upload over a web
interface
Generation of a Participant Identification Code (PIC)
Nomination of the Legal Entity Appointed Representative
(LEAR)
It is the front-end platform used for the organisation’s
interactions with the Commission DGs and Agencies,
complemented by the back-office managed by the
Validation Services of the REA
2. Organisation registration
 Uncontestably, one the success stories of FP7
implementation: 40,000 validated organisations;
30,000 nominated LEARs; centralised data
collection; diminished administrative burden and
contribution to a reduced TTG and TTP.
 Main working principles: fair and equal treatment
of registered organisation (by constant and
scrupulous application of the current legal
framework) and data quality (supporting
documents+verification)
 Only validated organisations can participate to FP7
indirect actions and are visible to the Commission's
grant management tools.

3. What is new in the 09/09/13
release?
 Increased transparency between participants and
the Validation Services: a direct communication
channel via the new interface front/back-end.
 A project coordinator will be able to launch the
self-registration (on behalf) of other
applicants/participants.
 Nomination of LEAR becomes possible once the
validation process is launched from the EU side.
•
3.2 What is new in the 09/09/13
release?
 Segregation of the “core” part (legal data) of an
organisation from the specific information required
for a particular EU Programme.
 This will allow other programmes to benefit from
the registration module.
 Educational programmes are the first ones to join
as from the new release, with two different access
locations:


Organisations wishing to take part in Research programmes will
access the service from the PP.
Organisations wishing to take part in Education, Audiovisual and
Culture programmes will access the registration module from the
EACEA page on Europa
4. Guided tour
through the self-registration and
data updates
on:
4. Preparation of H2020
 If the new programme requires validation of
specific attributes for a given organisation, these
will be handled via the segregation principle
implemented in the new release -> No need to
revalidate FP7 validated organisations
 SME self-questionnaire to be offered also within
the registration module
 LEAR nomination
