The JITs Portal is a web-based platform compatible with the most commonly used browsers. However, certain web browsers or old versions might cause some functionality to be limited, downgraded or available only through alternative steps.

For an optimal experience, we recommend, before you start, that you check that you are using one of the following browsers:

 Google Chrome (latest versions)
 Mozilla Firefox (latest versions)
 Microsoft Edge
 Apple Safari (latest versions)

Please be aware that although the JITs Portal is compatible with mobile devices, the display of information is not optimised for these devices.

If you are not sure which browser to use on your device, please contact your IT administrator.

Two reasons why you cannot create your account:

a) Your e-mail address has already been used to register an account in the JITs Portal. You cannot create multiple accounts with the same e-mail address. If you are already registered and you forgot your password, please see question no. 4.

b) Your e-mail address has already been used to register an account for another Eurojust authenticated area (e.g. JITs/Genocide Network Restricted Areas, etc.). If you have not registered an account in the JITs Portal, but have such a previous Eurojust account, please contact the JITs Network Secretariat (JITS@eurojust.europa.eu) for further assistance.

Upon registration, you should have received an e-mail with your initial password. Please check the inbox of the e-mail account you provided when creating the account (the e-mail might have been identified as spam or junk mail).

The link provided in the e-mail will redirect you to a page where you will be able to log in for the first time. You must set a new password for the use of the service with your first log in.

If you forgot your password, you can reset it via the JITs Portal. Make sure you have filled in the correct e-mail and password. If you have already tried several times, your account might be temporarily locked. In that case, please close your browser, wait a couple of minutes and then try again.

If that action did not succeed, follow these steps:

a) Close the browser and re-open another window.
b) Make sure your user name is the e-mail address you used when registering your account.
c) Copy and paste the password you have received.
d) Click on the ‘eye’ icon to verify that you have the correct password.

Any representative of the national authority can create an account in the JITs Portal. However, a funding application must be submitted by a JIT leader or JIT member of a Member State (or their representative), duly authorised to submit a funding application on behalf of the JIT. Usually, this person will be the contact person for the JIT during the application procedure.

The account is assigned to a single user. To share a draft application, please see question no. 7.

Export the draft to Word. However, please note that you cannot submit an application in Word format; any changes suggested by the other JIT party must be inserted in the draft you created with your account in the JITs Portal.

Check your browser settings. If pop-ups are blocked, add *.eurojust.europa.eu to your list of allowed/trusted websites. For more details about pop-up blockers, please see the Pop-up blockers guide.

Please note that attachments in the JITs Portal are limited. The files should not exceed in total 30 MB. The JITs Portal only supports the following extensions: .doc, .docx, .odt, .ods, .txt, .rtf, .odp, .bmp, .gif, .xls, .xlsx, .msg, .htm, .html, .ppt, .pptx, .vsd, .pdf, .zip, .rar, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .tif or .tiff. For further questions, please contact JITs@eurojust.europa.eu.

Please check that your application is completed, with no warning messages displayed at the top of the application, and that you are submitting it during an open call for proposals. This information (date) is clearly stated at the top of your draft application in the text field mentioning ‘You can submit this application as from: date’. For more information, consult the JITs funding planning available on the Eurojust website.

The JITs Portal does not allow you to access the details of previously submitted applications. You can only see the status and reference number of those applications. For saving applications on your computer, please see question no. 12.

Just after you submit your application (clicking on the ‘Submit’ button), you will be notified of the successful submission, and you will be allowed to download a copy of all the information submitted. If you want to save a read-only copy (PDF) and an editable copy (Word), click ‘Save’ when the message appears. To assure success, please check first that pop-ups are not blocked for Eurojust sites (see question no. 8).

To request a copy of your submitted application, please contact JITs@eurojust.europa.eu.

After the application is submitted you will not be able to edit or review it. You may need to withdraw it and submit a new request. You can withdraw a submitted application by clicking on the ‘Withdraw’ button appearing in the section ‘Submitted applications’. Please also note that you can withdraw an application until the decision date of the call in which it was submitted.

Your withdrawn application will be visible with status ‘Withdrawn’, and you will not be able to access/update it.

You can access your draft application for a period of two months. If you miss one call for proposals, you can submit your application within the following call. Please keep in mind that the draft application will be automatically deleted two months after its creation.

Applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application by e-mail. However, in the JITs Portal, the status – awarded/rejected – of the submitted application is visible after the relevant award decision date.

As of 27 August 2018, applications must be submitted via the JITs Portal and the PDF application form is no longer be available on Eurojust’s website. If you encounter technical problems with the submission of applications via the JITs Portal, please contact JITs@eurojust.europa.eu.

If you have any questions related to the content of the application (e.g. what kind of information you should provide in particular sections), please refer to the JITs funding guide. If this does not help, please contact the JITs Network Secretariat via e-mail at JITs@eurojust.europa.eu.

If none of the answers above have helped you sufficiently, please contact the JITs Network Secretariat by e-mail at JITs@eurojust.europa.eu.
