Introduction
After the submission of your proposal, the European Commission will evaluate your proposal. The coordinators of successful proposals for which funding is available, are invited to start preparations for the grant. If this invitation is issued before the Commission ranked list has been finalised, the invitation will explain that preparations may have to be terminated or changed once the final ranking is decided on.
You will be notified by email as soon as the European Commission has invited you to start the Grant Agreement Preparation. A notification will be available in Your Notifications in your area in the participant Portal, explaining how to access the Grant Management Services tool.
