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 516 - 520 of 1863Ruimtegebruik op de Noordzee en de trends tot 2040 : achtergronddocument bij Natuurverkenning 2011
Dit achtergronddocument bevat een verkenning van het toekomstig ruimtegebruik op de Noordzee (Nederlands Continentaal Plat, NCP). Hierbij wordt gebruik gemaakt van een hoog resp. een laag economisch groeiscenario: ‘Global Economy’ (GE) en ‘Regional Communities’ (RC), omgevingsscenario’s die ook voor de Natuurverkenning 2011 worden gebruikt. De specifieke zeegebonden functies (scheepvaart, visserij, offshore energiewinning) komen in die twee scenario’s echter nauwelijks aan de orde. Dit achtergronddocument beoogt dit gat zoveel mogelijk te vullen.
Recht versus beleid : rechtsontwikkelingen landschapsbeleid
Met de ontwerp-Structuurvisie Infrastructuur en Ruimte (SVIR) laat het Kabinet het landschapsbeleid aan de provincie. Het landschapsbeleid van het Rijk komt daarmee te vervallen. De ervaring die het Rijk tot dusverre heeft opgedaan met de juridische kanten van zijn landschapsbeleid kan zeer wel bruikbaar zijn voor de provincies. Deze juridische kanten zijn samen met provinciale ervaringen op een rij gezet. WOt-paper 12 gaat in op de rechtsontwikkelingen van de afgelopen twee jaar in het landschapsbeleid.
How the Dutch plan to stay dry over the next century
Over two-thirds of the Netherlands' economy and half its population is below sea level. The Dutch government recently set out far-reaching recommendations on how to keep the country flood-proof over the next century given the likelihood of rising sea levels and river flows. This paper explains the recommendations, which are based on a gradual upgrading of safety standards in the light of economic growth and group casualty risk, together with triggers provided by debates and data on climate change.

Environmental impact assessment based on planning support system
How to assess environmental impact is one of the keys in land use planning. This article described in detail the concepts of activities, impact zones, functions, and sensitivities, as well as the development of STEPP (strategic tool for integrating environmental aspects in planning procedures) based on Avenue, the secondary developing language of ArcView GIS. The system makes it convenient for planning practitioners exchanging information, and can spatially, visually and quantitatively describe environmental impact and its change.
