How to create an EU Login account

In 2022, the European Commission's School Education Gateway and eTwinning platforms will merge into the European School Education Platform; all the content and services will be under one roof. The European School Education Platform will be accessible via EU Login, the European Commission's user authentication service. This tutorial will guide you through creating your EU Login account, which allows authorised users to access a wide range of Commission web services using a single email address and password.

Please note that you will only be able to use the EU Login for the European School Education Platform once it is launched. In the meantime, please continue using your current account to log into the eTwinning and School Education Gateway platforms.

Please note that it is not possible any longer to change the email address linked with your existing eTwinning/School Education Gateway account. Make sure that your EU Login account has the same email address as your eTwinning/School Education Gateway account. For more information contact your NSO.
