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.

Land reform in Africa: lessons from Kenya
Access to land is increasingly becoming a problem in Africa as a result both of population growth and tenure reforms. The standard argument for tenure reform centres on the role of uncertainty in discouraging investment on land held without long-term security. The rationale for this 'replacement' paradigm, however, can be questioned on economic, ecological and social grounds. The history of land tenure reform in Kenya, especially that of group titles in the semiarid areas, is a case in point.
Monitoring Groene Ruimte; pilotstudie voor twee gebieden
De ministeries van LNV en VROM hebben een conceptmonitoringprogramma Groene Ruimte ontwikkeld. Momenteel vraagt de gegevensverzameling nog een aanzienlijke inspanning. Als in de toekomst een aantal geplande meetnetten operationeel is, zal dit waarschijnlijk minder worden. Het monitoringsysteem is zeer bruikbaar om een toestand te beschrijven. De systematiek van het systeem biedt structuur bij integratie van zeer uiteenlopende invalshoeken. In het proefproject was het monitoringsysteem minder geschiktvoor beleidsevaluatie, omdat weinig gegevens uit het verleden beschikbaar zijn.
