News archive - FP7 - new systems for proposal preparation for 2013 calls

The EC is moving to a new electronic submission system for the 2013 FP7 calls, which will be used for most calls under the 2013 Work Programmes. The new system replaces the Electronic Proposal Submission System (EPSS). Currently, all open calls under the 2013 Work Programmes apart from the European Research Council (ERC) calls require  submission of proposals  via the  new system, which  is  integrated  into  the  Participant  Portal.  This  means  that  anyone  who  wants  to  submit  a proposal  will  first  of  all  need  to  have  an  account  with  the  European  Commission  Authenticated Service (ECAS).

In  addition,  the  EC's  experts'  database  will  soon  be  transferred  from  CORDIS  to  the  Participant Portal.  Most  of  the  data  of  those  registered  should  be  transferred  automatically,  but  some  profile information will have to be re-entered in a more structured way. The information currently in profiles in the  CORDIS  system  can  be  retrieved  until  the  migration  to  the  new  system  is  completed.  Every expert should have received a notification from the European Commission to retrieve the data, while a separate e-mail will be sent by the Commission to experts in due course to activate and update their profile in the new system.

Commission guidelines on the new system are available from:
