Description
This opportunity supports the creation of "living literature reviews"—continuously updated, publicly accessible online articles that synthesize academic research on specific topics. Reviews are intended to be written primarily by a single expert, blending academic rigor with accessibility for non-specialists and policymakers. The aim is to make research insights understandable, avoid paywalls and jargon, and foster interdisciplinary connections, ultimately informing policy and broadening the impact of academic work. Supported reviews leverage digital platforms (websites, newsletters, podcasts) to maximize reach and relevance.
