Note: A non-exhaustive list of subcategories has been added as an annex to the guidelines to guide participants in identifying the category that best represents the project’s field of expertise. Some projects are difficult to categorize as they are interdisciplinary; the participant may choose the category that best fits the main topic of their project.
