Science-based advice at Aarhus University centres on academic quality, punctuality, visibility of results as well as coordination and dialogue with the client, while ensuring that science-based advice from the university is always kept clearly separate from the subsequent policy-making processes.

Quality assurance throughout the entire process is an important element in science-based advice, and Technical Sciences therefore has implemented a common and cohesive quality management system for science-based advice. The system guarantees high-quality services by ensuring quality in the individual steps in the process, and it can also be used as external documentation for how quality is assured in science-based advice from Technical Sciences.

The quality management system is certified according to the quality standard ISO9001. The certification was performed by FORCE Certification in September 2020.
