What is a K4P account, how do I create one and how do I use it?

Mathew LOWRY Mathew LOWRY

What is it? A K4P account allows you to login to K4P to access its interactive features, ranging from ‘Ask a scientist’ through to joining Working Groups (see FAQ: What is the K4P Community).

How do I create my K4P account? Like all accounts on the European Commission’s websites, K4P accounts use the EU Login authentication system. To create a K4P account is simple.

  1. Click “Login” icon in the top of the page (next to the EC logo) or on any “Login/Register” button available wherever an interactive service is proposed, and provide your consent. They all send you to the EU Login page.
  2. Login if you have an EU Login account. If not, click “Create an account” and follow the instructions.

Now that I have an account, how do I log in?

  1. Login using the “Login” link at the top of the page (next to the EC logo) or from any “Login/Register” button, as above.
  2. Once logged in, you are automatically returned to the page you started. The login icon at the top of the page now indicates that you are logged in and gives you direct access to key parts of your K4P user menu (see  FAQ: What is my user menu?), as well as a 'log out' link.
