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 271 - 275 of 1863Ecosystem services for connecting actors – lessons learnt from a symposium
This paper is a communication from the corresponding symposium at the Global Land Project Open Science Meeting, Berlin, March 2014. We explored the assumption that the ecosystem services-(ES) concept has the potential to support communication and collaboration between actors in land use planning. If
The malleability and unpredictability of regional transitions: a systematic approach for reflection and learning
The ‘region’ has increasingly become an entry point for inducing a transition towards sustainable food provision, environmental quality for living and recreation, and/or economic competitiveness. Regional projects and strategies have assembled politicians, entrepreneurs, civil society organisations, and researchers in joint endeavours, with ambitious names such as Food Valley, Energy Valley, Health Valley, or Greenports. This report labels such endeavours as ‘regional transitions’.
Modeling direct and indirect climate change impacts on ecological networks : a case study on breeding habitat of Dutch meadow birds
Context: Climate change can directly affect habitats within ecological networks, but may also have indirect effects on network quality by inducing land use change. The relative impact of indirect effects of climate change on the quality of ecological networks currently remains largely unknown. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the relative impact of direct and indirect effects of climate change on a network of breeding habitat of four meadow bird species (Black-tailed godwit, Common redshank, Eurasian oystercatcher and Northern lapwing) in the Netherlands.
Optimaliseren herinrichting van diepe plassen : Technisch achtergronddocument bij de MCA Verondiepen, een multicriteria-instrument om locatiekeuze en inrichtingsvariant te optimaliseren
Het nuttig toepassen van grond of baggerspecie kan als kans worden gezien in gebiedsontwikkeling of natuurontwikkeling in en rond een diepe plas. Om een optimale keuze voor inrichting en functie te kunnen maken, moeten verschillende aspecten worden afgewogen. Hiervoor is de MCA Verondiepen ontwikkeld, een multicriteria-instrument om stakeholders op een gestructureerde wijze een analyse te kunnen doen van de huidige functie en kwaliteit, impact van herinrichting, en mogelijke nieuwe functie en kwaliteit.
