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 1011 - 1015 of 1863Klikt het: een link leggen door elektronisch kennis te halen en te brengen? Een inventarisatie naar de behoefte aan een digitaal kennisportaal voor gebiedsgericht beleid
Dit rapport gaat de wensen en behoeften aan een digitaal kennisportaal voor gebiedsgericht beleid na. Aanleiding is een onderzoeksrapport van het voormalige EC-LNV waarin werd geconstateerd dat de bestaande site voor gebiedsgericht beleid niet voldeed en kennis tussen gebiedsactoren en kennisinstellingen beter moest worden ontsloten. Aansluitend bij de decentralisatie wil het Rijk provincies zo goed mogelijk faciliteren.
Transgressing boundaries : Gendered Spaces, Species and Indigenous Forest Management in Uganda
Forest resource access is often conceptualized as a `bundle of rights` held by different social groups at different times.
Land disputes and local conflict resolution mechanisms in Burundi
Over the year 2004, CED-CARITAS has been assisting the return of Burundian refugees and accompanied their reinsertion in their original communities. The progressive return of refugees accentuates the already existing pressure on agricultural land. Convinced that the question of land property is a key factor for sustainable peace, the Catholic Church of Burundi would like to start a project for ‘accompanying the peace process and reinsertion of victims in Burundi through the identification of land properties in dispute’.
Econet : kennisspel ecologische netwerken
Dit werkboekje rapporteert de stand van zaken in de ontwikkeling van een digitaal interactief ecologisch kennisspel. Het kennisspel is bedoeld voor regionale actoren of vertegenwoordigers van regionale organisaties en landschapsontwerpers die betrokken zijn bij het planningsproces van gebiedsplannen, waarin natuur één van de doelstellingen is. Doel van het spel is die actoren (groepen) spelenderwijs inzicht te verschaffen in de ecologische pincipes en processen, die cruciaal zijn bij het ontwerpen van effectieve ecologische netwerken.
Coping with drought : options for soil and water management in semi-arid Kenya
In semi-arid Kenya, episodes of agricultural droughts of varying severity and duration occur. The occurrence of these agricultural droughts is associated with seasonal rainfall variability and can be reflected by seasonal soil moisture deficits that significantly affect crop productivity. The aim of this study was to analyse agricultural drought, and to evaluate soil and water management options and strategies for sustainable crop production in drought-prone semi-arid Kenya. Research was conducted at an experimental site in Katumani and in Iiuni watershed, both in Machakos district.
