How to Enter Your Information into the EURA2021 System

If you have access to a smartphone or a computer and are able to authenticate using your online banking credentials or a mobile certificate, you can enter your information into the system yourself:

  1. Go to www.eura2021.fi/osallistuja.
  2. Accept the terms and log in to the service.
  3. Enter the project code S30315, then fill in your details in the system.

Alternatively, you can scan the QR code at the end of this instruction with your mobile device. The code will take you directly to authentication and includes the project code.

  1. After authentication, check your personal and contact details and update them if necessary.
  2. Enter your start and end dates in the system and submit the information to the project implementer.
  3. Finally, log out of the service.

When you enter your start date, the system will generate a customer number for you. Use this customer number as your identifier if you need to communicate with the project implementer - do not use your personal identity number!

The project implementer will accept your information. After this, you will no longer be able to change your start or end dates. However, you can update your contact details at any time.

If there is anything unclear or needs correction in the information you entered, the project implementer can return your data for completion. In that case, the system will send you an automatic email requesting you to update the information.
