Unique Registration Facility (URF) for organisations participating in FP7
The European Commission's new Unique Registration Facility (URF) for organisations participating in FP7 is now available. Organisations will receive a unique Participant Identification Code (PIC) that can be used in proposal submission and grant negotiation, avoiding having to provide their legal and financial data again. Please ensure that these efforts are coordinated across your organisation and as applicable a single Legal Entity Appointed Representative (LEAR) is appointed for the organisation. Note that FAQs are also available.
