The journal welcomes research articles, position and prospect papers, case studies, country reports, new technologies developments and full-scale applications, examples of “best practice”, policies and strategies and papers on lessons to be learned.

Papers may originate from the selection of papers from highly qualified international conferences or from regular submissions.

Each manuscript will be handled by an Associate Editor and peer reviewed by a minimum of two additional independent expert reviewers.

The main evaluating parameters and acceptance criteria are based on compliance with the journal aims and scope, and on innovation and practical relevance of the submitted papers.
