What is the PIC?

All organizations which have signed an FP7 contract with the Commission should have received a PIC (Participant Identification Code). The PIC code is a 9 digit unique identifier for every validated legal entity. Using a PIC code means participants do not have to submit their legal and financial information (and supporting documents) each time they submit a proposal or negotiate a grant agreement. The PIC code is available from the designated contact within an organisation, referred to by the Commission as the LEAR, (Legal Entity Appointed Representative). The LEAR is appointed by the organisation they work for to be the correspondent towards the Commission on all issues related to the legal status of the entity.
