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 721 - 725 of 1863Risk Task Force on Public goods from private land
The study focused on the nature and scale of public goods and services which land managers (farmers and foresters) currently provide. Using the available evidence on the range of environmental and man-made landscape services which multi-functional land management can offer, the report presents a series of mechanisms which could be used to deliver services not provided for by the market.
Politieke besluitvorming over het Landbouwontwikkelingsgebied Witveldweg in de Gemeente Horst aan de Maas
LOGs (landbouwontwikkelingsgebieden) maken onderdeel uit van het landelijke reconstructiebeleid. Bijzonder voor Horst aan de Maas is dat een aantal agrarische ondernemers heeft aangegeven een zogenaamd Nieuw Gemengd Bedrijf (NGB) in dit gebied te willen vestigen. Hoewel de vergunningen nog niet zijn afgegeven, heeft de goedkeuring van de gebiedsvisie tot veel commotie geleid. In de aanloop naar de besluitvorming heeft vooral de mogelijke vestiging van het NGB tot veel maatschappelijke onrust en protesten geleid.
Kavelruil en landschap : een korte verkenning naar ruimtelijke effecten van kavelruil
De afgelopen jaren zijn reeds vele kavelruilprojecten ter verbetering van de productieomstandigheden van onder andere de melkveehouderij en akkerbouw ten uitvoer gebracht. Kavelruilprojecten hebben mogelijk zichtbare ruimtelijke effecten op het landschap. Op dit moment is nog niet inzichtelijk wat en hoe groot deze effecten zijn. De vraag die ten grondslag ligt aan dit onderzoek is als volgt: Wat zijn de gevolgen van kavelruilprojecten, inclusief bijbehorende maatregelen, voor het landschap in het agrarisch gebied?
Restoration of degraded steppe lands : opportunities for Lugansk Oblast, Eastern Ukraine
There are millions of hectares of land in the Ukraine which either have been abandoned, or are farmed with a low land productivity due to severe land degradation. The Netherlands Embassy has requested a study to assess the opportunities and benefits of restoration of degraded steppe areas. The goal of this project is the restoration of degraded land and to develop more sustainable land use with a higher biodiversity. Innovative farming systems are proposed which are both economically and environmentally sustainable agricultural production systems.
The dynamics of cork oak systems in Portugal: the role of ecological and land use factors
Vegetation degradation and desertification occur in many semiarid ecosystems worldwide, particularly in the Western Mediterranean Basin. A peculiar semiarid Mediterranean land use system dominates the landscape of southern Portugal where cork oak (Quercus suber) is the main tree species.
