A must-read for all applicants! The UIA guidance is the main reference document of the Call and explains all the rules and requirements of an UIA project. It should therefore be read together with the Terms of Reference of the Call (see below).

A revised version of the guidance has been developed for Call 4, so please make sure to use this version while developing any project application. The UIA guidance is only available in English.
