In its desire to further the visibility of architects' social function, the Architect’s Association of Catalonia is, for the sixth year running, opening the call for grants for local and international development cooperation projects related to architecture and urban planning. The awarding of these grants is in keeping with the Association’s commitment to allocating part of its budget to social pursuits.

Those eligible to apply for grants within the scope of this call include associations, NGOs, foundations and other non-profit bodies working in the field of cooperation with international and/or local development which have architects among their collaborators, whether salaried, volunteers or with a professional service contract.

This call covers two main areas for grants: International Development Cooperation and Local Development Cooperation. Within each of these two areas, there are five types of grant:

a) Building or renovation of housing
b) Building or renovation of community facilities
c) Building or renovation of infrastructures
d) Building or renovation of public spaces
e) Urban planning

All applicants, who must be members of the COAC, should fill out the application form and submit it, along with the required documentation, to the Secretariat at any COAC branch or delegation before 19 May 2017 at 1 pm.
