Henk Wals, director DANS: “Our new mission is unambiguous: to enhance the reusability of research data and thus the quality of scientific research. In 2020, with more than 150,000 datasets, DANS is in the top five of similar repositories in the world. DANS will contribute to the Dutch data landscape in 3 ways: as a versatile data repository, as a centre of expertise for FAIR data, and as a partner. This has resulted in an innovative programme: Focus on FAIR’.”
