Involving academics from Australia, the United States, Brazil, Germany and Turkey, the research investigated what makes Danish TV series circulate transnationally. The research was conducted by the Department of Media Studies/ School of Communication and Culture, Aarhus University, with funding from YDUN (Younger women Devoted to a University career)/ The Danish Council for Independent Research.

The research objectives include:

To investigate all stages of the production system of Danish TV series, from their creation, distribution and reception by the public;

To conduct empirical studies (export, co-production, remakes) and reception (audience studies at three levels) and to engage in dialogue with representatives of the communities around the world that receive and produce these media products (Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Turkey and the United Kingdom).
