1. Registration and roles
As the 1st step, anyone using Jems must create a user account.
Jems portal can be accessed at the following link: jems.interreg-npa.eu

NOTE: The national controllers should provide information about approved controllers (name, email address) In an e-mail to the MA and Jems (stefan.nystrom@lansstyrelsen.se, jems@interreg-npa.eu) in order to grant these users the controller access rights.
