Focal point
Location
National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System (NARCIS) is the main Dutch national portal for those looking for information about researchers and their work. NARCIS aggregates data from around 30 institutional repositories. Besides researchers, NARCIS is also used by students, journalists and people working in educational and government institutions as well as the business sector.
NARCIS provides access to scientific information, including (open access) publications from the repositories of all the Dutch universities, KNAW, NWO and a number of research institutes, datasets from some data archives as well as descriptions of research projects, researchers and research institutes.
This means that NARCIS cannot be used as an entry point to access complete overviews of publications of researchers (yet). However, there are more institutions that make all their scientific publications accessible via NARCIS. By doing so, it will become possible to create much more complete publication lists of researchers.
In 2004, the development of NARCIS started as a cooperation project of KNAW Research Information, NWO, VSNU and METIS, as part of the development of services within the DARE programme of SURFfoundation. This project resulted in the NARCIS portal, in which the DAREnet service was incorporated in January 2007. NARCIS has been part of DANS since 2011.
DANS - Data Archiving and Networked Services - is the Netherlands Institute for permanent access to digital research resources. DANS encourages researchers to make their digital research data and related outputs Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Displaying 1006 - 1010 of 1863Planning, contract en commitment : naar een relationeel perspectief op gebiedscontracten in de ruimtelijke planning
Het gebiedscontract vervult de rol van het bestuurskundige convenant, als een invulling van de relatie tussen overheden en andere partijen. In deze samenwerking kan de overheid veel invloed hebben op de besluitvormingsprocessen. Maar geen van de partijen kan bij voorbaat doelstellingen opleggen aan anderen. In deze studie komen twee praktijkvoorbeelden aan bod: het Pact van Teylingen (Bollenstreek) en het uitvoeringscontract Oostrumse Beek
The Dangers of Transplanting Planning Instruments; The case of land fragmentation in Central Europe
Landscapes of transformation: Reflections on agriculture and cultural heritage in a man-made country
Bringing farmers together
Farmer Field Schools (FFSs) have been used in many countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa as a way to deal with constraints such as crop pests, soil fertility depletion, health issues like HIV/AIDS and the communal management of natural resources. They often work in partnership with local NGOs or Government institutions to develop solutions to complex problems facing farmers. In Lukwanga parish, Wakiso District, FFSs have encouraged the creation of new institutions and led to the development of stronger and more cooperative relationships within the community.
