Setting up an account
In order to set up an account, users are required to complete their profile by providing mandatory information. A valid email address is required and a password is created at the sign-up stage. The email address is used for both for logging-in and for communication between E.N.T.E.R. and the user.

E.N.T.E.R. GmbH is not responsible for any content that is provided by a user. Projects should, under normal circumstances, only be registered once, by one partner in a project group, generally the coordinator or main dissemination partner. If E.N.T.E.R. receives a request to register a project more than once, we will ask for clarification about the reason for this and E.N.T.E.R.
