You can find the Participant Identification Code (PIC) of any registered organization on the Funding & Tenders Portal, which is part of the Single Electronic Data Interchange Area (SEDIA). This searchable database allows you to look up an organization’s PIC by entering its name.

You may use either the full or partial organization name (e.g., “Oxford” or “University of Oxford”) and optionally filter by country. Please note that you cannot search by country alone, and organization names must be entered in English or the organization’s national language.

An advanced search option is also available, allowing you to find the PIC using additional details such as VAT number, city, registration number, or Erasmus code.

If the organization you’re looking for doesn’t appear in the results, it may either not be registered or the name entered may be incorrect. In such cases, we recommend contacting the organization directly for clarification.

A PIC number is a 9-digit unique identifier required for any organization applying for European funding. Once assigned, it does not expire.
