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 371 - 375 of 1863State marionettes, phantom organisations or genuine movements?: The paradoxical emergence of rural social movements in post-socialist Russia
Of all the rural social movements in the world, those in post-socialist Russia have been considered to be among the weakest. Nevertheless, triggered by the neo-liberal reforms in the countryside, state attention to agriculture and rising land conflicts, new social movement organisations with a strong political orientation are emerging in Russia today. This sudden burst of civil activity, however, raises questions as to how genuine and independent the emerging organisations are.

Landscape ecology and rural roads: Traffic calming for improving both landscape and wildlife?
The concept of traffic calming has successfully improved road safety. This concept applied in rural areas has provided new insights in the mitigation of negative effects of roads and traffic. Earlier studies have shown that the concept, distinguishing between local access roads and rural arterial highways, also can improve landscape connectivity for wildlife. Physical speed reducing devices are frequently used in the context of traffic calming, but applying these devices may negatively impact the coherence and identity of the landscape.
Combineren van regionale opgaven bespaart overheden tijd en geld
Bestuurders staan voor verschillende beleidsopgaven in gebieden, zoals de Kaderrichtlijn Water (KRW), het Deltaprogramma, Natura 2000 en beleid op het gebied van infrastructuur en ruimte. De beleidscycli van deze regionale opgaven verlopen vaak niet parallel en de verantwoordelijke overheden (Rijk, provincie, gemeente of waterschap) verschillen per beleidsopgave. Afstemming van regionale opgaven van verschillende overheden, in verschillende fasen van het gebiedsproces, biedt voordelen.
Notitie gedragen effectprotocollen voor beoordeling sectoren in het Deltaprogramma
In de derde fase van het Deltaprogramma worden in afzonderlijke deelprogramma's mogelijke strategieën uitgewerkt tot meest kansrijke strategieën. Er wordt momenteel hard gewerkt aan de voorbereiding van een vijftal belangrijke beslissingen in 2014, de Deltabeslissingen. Ter onderbouwing van deze Deltabeslissingen worden nu strategieën uitgewerkt. In deze strategieën is het essentieel om de opgaven voor veiligheid, zoetwatervoorziening en de rol die ruimtelijke inrichting daarbij kan spelen in samenhang te benaderen.
