This report series provides clear, accessible, and well-structured insights into cutting-edge research and academic developments. With a strong dissemination perspective, the reports aim to connect academic knowledge with industry professionals, policymakers, and the broader public.

While the reports are not peer-reviewed, they undergo a thorough quality check via AAU OPEN (authors, affiliation, collaboration, content i.e. theory, method, material, data, references etc.). If any questions regarding scientific quality arise, AAU OPEN will consult its publishing committee.

Each report in the series is crafted to present complex findings in a comprehensive yet digestible format, ensuring that stakeholders beyond academia can engage with the insights. By prioritizing clarity, relevance, and practical application, the series contributes to knowledge transfer and informed decision-making across multiple sectors.

The series includes both English and Danish publications but does not accept working papers or preprints.
