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.

ABSTRACT
Winnen of verzanden : een studie naar de gevolgen van ontgrondingen
De winning van delfstoffen uit de oppervlakte, het ontgronden, veroorzaakt een onomkeerbare verandering van het landschap. Naast het winnen van zand (ontzanden) kan het daarbij gaan om klei, grind, mergel en schelpen. Het proces om tot een ontgronding te komen is een langdurig traject waarbij verschillende belangen van ontgronder, gemeente en bewoners tegen elkaar dienen te worden afgewogen.
Strategies for sustainable urban development and urban-rural linkages
An important driving force behind urban expansion is the growth of the urban population. But for Europe, this is not a sufficient explanation. The major trend is that European cities have become much less compact. Since the mid-1950s European cities have expanded on average by 78%, whereas the population has grown by only 33%.

Balans van de leefomgeving 2014 : de toekomst is nú
De Balans van de Leefomgeving geeft parlement, kabinet en samenleving een feitelijk onderbouwd inzicht in de huidige kwaliteit van de fysieke leefomgeving. De Balans is de tweejaarlijkse peilstok van het PBL die aangeeft in hoeverre de door de politiek zelf ten doel gestelde leefomgevingskwaliteit tijdig wordt bereikt. De Balans van de Leefomgeving 2014 heeft als motto meegekregen: de toekomst is nú.
