he Superior Council of Associations of Spanish Architects (CSCAE), as general programme operator, assumes the financial and technical responsibilities for the launch of the UIA international system of continuing professional development. The CSCAE conducts this project in a transparent manner, remaining open to suggestions from all of the UIA Member Sections.

In relation to the various, existing CPD contexts, the UIA programme hopes to:

give Sections that already have established systems the possibility to deliver their courses to an international audience, and the possibility to offer courses given in other countries to their members

provide Sections that would like to set up their own CPD system with working models and indications as to content and quality guidelines, in order to help them in their task

ensure that architects in countries that do not have their own system of CPD have access to quality continuing education courses, especially where such is required for international mobility.
