Outlook to future works [closed]

Solution 1:

Outlook is a physical view (the outlook is of trees and woods), a general attitude towards life or aspects of life (he has an optimistic outlook), or a prediction (the outlook after Brexit is depressing). See https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/outlook

From any of these perspectives:

this report gives an outlook to future works reads awkwardly. If a physical analogue is desired, I would prefer the metaphorical this report offers a window on future works

this report gives an outlook on future works is acceptable

this report gives an outlook for future works is acceptable.

Solution 2:

I would say the second one. Giving an outlook to "future works" sounds odd for it seems to assume "future works" are some individuals perhaps, because that is who are supposed to have an outlook on something.
