Nowadays, there are not many missions devoted to ultraviolet astronomy, and when the HST will stop its operations, the only flying facility purely ultraviolet will be WSO-UV (to be launched in 2024/2025). In response of the Astro2020 Decadal Survey for astronomy and Astrophysics call for white papers organised by the National Academy of Sciences and the American Astronomical Society, a total of 65 white papers recognising the importance of the development of UV facilities were sent by the community; they are listed below and the full PDFs can be found in the bulletin of the AAS.
