    The UIA database on professional practice around the world has been updated and upgraded to better meet the needs of professionals and the UIA member sections. The expanded database is now hosted on the UIA website. Its graphic interface corresponds to that of other UIA materials and a new organisational structure was developed to make research and navigation both simpler and faster.

    Six main blocks of information are proposed for each country:

    Statistics, including general information and useful addresses

    ·         Education, dealing with standards, internship, examinations and titles
    ·         Regulation, indicating the process to access the profession
    ·         Practice, detailing the activities architects can carry out, their liability or the insurances they need
    ·         Procurement, referring to the methods to obtain commissions or the way to calculate fair compensations
    ·         Transnational practice, information about relevant aspects of international ventures.
