Step by step manual for submitting technical reports and deliverables through the

Participant Portal (PP)

How to submit Progress, Interim, and Final Reports using PP

o Since recently, it is possible to submit Progress reports (PR) as well as technical parts

of Interim (IR) and Final reports (FR) directly into the IT system of EASME, using the

PP. Please from now on, use this functionality and do not anymore send us paper

versions unless your EASME Project Officer requests you to do so.

o If you need to submit deliverables together with a PR, IR and FR please do so by

following instructions on page 5.

o Please note: once you submit the Progress, Interim, and Final Reports through PP,

please do not forget to submit the reports (that you created through PP) also as

deliverables in the Deliverables section in PP.

o Please note: the originally signed and dated financial reports still need to be sent to

EASME by mail (2 hard copies) in addition to electronic submission by email.
