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.

Participatory integrated watershed management in the north-western highlands of Rwanda

Reports & Research
December, 2013
Rwanda

This thesis is the result of assessments on the extent of existing resource use and management practices using a Participatory Integrated Watershed Management (PIWM) as a viable approach to promote best soil water conservation (SWC) measures towards more sustainable land use. The study was conducted in two contrasting agro-ecological zones of the north-western highlands of Rwanda, namely; Gataraga and Rwerere in the framework of “Agasozi ndatwa” referred to as PIWM.

Renesse 2050 onderscheid met het landschap en kwaliteit

Reports & Research
December, 2013

Deze brochure gaat over het Renesse van de toekomst. Over belangrijke uitdagingen die op het gebied afkomen, over het unieke kustlandschap als natuurlijk kapitaal van Renesse en over slim anticiperen op de toekomst waarbij dit natuurlijk kapitaal centraal staat. De gevolgen van zeespiegelstijging voor kust van Renesse zijn naar verwachting beheersbaar bij een geïntensiveerde voortzetting van het huidige zandsuppletiebeleid tot 2050. Wel is het zaak om via de ruimtelijke inrichting Renesse en omgeving bestand te maken tegen meer en grotere weersextremen.

Linking water management to spatial development: impact from EU to local level

Conference Papers & Reports
December, 2013

The co-operation between water managers and spatial planners depends heavily on its basic element: competing interests. Aspects that shapes the co-operation and define its effectiveness are language (discipline related jargon), contracts, trust, personal competences, policy tuning & policy instruments, institutional innovations, instrumental innovations and mental innovations. This co-operation is mainly informal of character. These aspects will be discussed based on a comparison of two case studies around water management and spatial planning.
