Project Reports
AMF Tasks usually provide a final report on the work carried out under the respective Task. Most of these reports are immediately brought to the public domain, but some of them remain “restricted” in dissemination at least for a while. Following a recent decision of the AMF Executive Committee, older reports that had been restricted in dissemination earlier, are now also made publicly available. Below, more than 60 AMF reports are provided.
The End of Term Report 2020-2024 provides an overview on activities and findings of AMF work over the past five years.
