Grant Agreement Preparation

The Coordinator clicks on "Grant Agreement Data preparation" to edit and complete the necessary forms. 

Once the Coordinator has clicked the "Grant Agreement Data preparation" task, he can complete the necessary forms. 

The Grant Management Services tool opens with the Project Summary screen. 

Once all forms have been completed, the Coordinator clicks the "Submit to EU" button. 

Grant Agreement eSignature 

The Grant Agreement signature happens in several steps:

1. All beneficiaries (the Coordinator included) sign the Grant Declaration form (Declaration of Honour)
2. Upload the third party declaration (if applicable) (this can happen at the same time as step 1)
3. The Coordinator signs the Grant Agreement
4. The European Commission signs the Grant Agreement
5. All beneficiaries sign the accession to the Grant Agreement

For example: the Coordinator has to sign the Grant Agreement: 

The Coordinator clicks on the tasks "Grant Agreement signature". He can verify all relevant documents in the documents section. 

Once he's ready to sign, he clicks the "Sign" button. 

Once he has clicked the "Sign" button, he's asked to login to ECAS and click the "Sign" button again.

Once the Coordinator has clicked the "Sign" button, the task "Grant Agreement signature" has disappeared because the task has been completed. 

A green banner appears in the Grant Management Services screen, indicating that the document is being processed. After a while the signed document will be available in the documents section.
