1. Can I register a project without a partner?

2. Do I need to think about the end of my project when I’m registering it?

3. Can I change my project details before I submit it?

Part 2. Project Approval

At this point you are told your project is created but it will remain pending until firstly your partner

and then the National Support Services approve it.

You can find your project now in the Pending tab of your Projects

page.

You can view the current status of the project here. It will either be ‘waiting for partner approval’ or

‘waiting for NSS approval’.

At this stage you can Delete the project or

Edit the details

Your partner will have received a notification in their Desktop saying that the project has been registered and that you are waiting for them to

accept the project.

They will also be able to find it in the Pending tab of their Projects page and there they will have the

option to Accept or Reject the project.

Once your partner has approved the project it get’s sent to the NSS in each country for each of them to

verify and approve (to check the project is appropriate, well planned etc). This shouldn’t take more than

3 days.

You can add new partner schools to the project by clicking on Add new partner(s). Again, just make sure

they are in your Contacts List before you try and do this.

By clicking on Manage Partner(s) you can change the role of the

members of the project.

Within Manage Partner(s) you can change the role of the members of the project to either ‘Administrator’ or ‘Member’. ‘Administrators’ can

add (and remove) others to/from the project and change the project

details whereas ‘Members’ can just view this information. Should you wish to remove a partner from the

project you can do so from this screen.
