Reporting

EACEA is introducing harmonised electronic reporting, the Culture eReport, that is replacing the classical reporting as of the 20th of August 2018.

Culture eReport

The purpose of the Culture eReport is to submit key data on the implementation of your project, your achievements and acquired skills, your cultural, creative and professional development through the projects and the areas you have focused on to meet your goals.

The interim and final reports have to be filled in and submitted via the EACEA eReporting system, which is an online tool available at the Participant portal. Both interim and final eReports must be submitted within 60 days following the end of each reporting period and the payment provisions set out in the grant agreement. Please refer to the submission deadline as indicated to the Participant portal and the Article I.4 of your Grant Agreement.

The Culture eReport is continuously open for the beneficiaries to report on progress in their project's implementation, to answer to the questionnaire of their eReport as soon as their own data is available, as well as, to modify and update it before its final submission to the Agency.

Before completing and submiting the eReport, read carefully the parts 2 and 3 'Implementation report and Financial management and reporting' of the Guidance on contractual project management.

The eReports User Guide will provide you with detailed instructions on how to complete and submit a Project Report using the EACEA eReporting system. It is also recommended to save frequently the information indicated, even if there is an automatic backup.

We advise you to consult the simulation of the filled-in eReport about the different tabs of the online tool and narrative technical report.

The Culture eReport contains both technical and financial reports.

Some information of the Part 1 - Culture eReport is automatically compiled, notably:

  • General information
  • Contractual Data

The following parts must be filled in:

  • public summary, providing an overview of the project and its results in English for publication in the Creative Europe Project results databaseOther information, presenting your own feedback on the resulting impacts, lessons learnt from the project and your own story telling in support of your project or by some other means, such as a short video;
  • statistics, covering issues related to the project implementation and answers to the questionnaire about the cultural, economic and social impacts, notably in the context of the Creative Europe key performance indicators and monitoring requirements;
  • budget, consisting of contractual financial information and interim-final declared financial information;
  • attachments.

Attachments (annexes) to the Culture eReport

The attachment of the following documents is mandatory for the submission of the Culture eReport:
