Using MiREL to Describe Project Impact

MiREL (Mission Readiness Level) provides a structured framework for describing how research and innovation activities can contribute to mission-driven change and societal impact.

Developed at AAU, MiREL connects theoretical perspectives on mission-driven innovation with practical experience from AAU’s missions. The framework supports a more systematic understanding of how projects develop over time, linking individual research and innovation activities to broader mission objectives and intended societal impact.

This short guide introduces how to use MiREL to describe project impact. It provides researchers and project teams with a practical approach to positioning a project in the MiREL matrix, reflecting on its development pathway, and articulating how the project may contribute to long-term mission ambitions.
