Frequently asked questions

Can I deposit my research data with DANS?

Deposit your data here. If your organisation is associated with DataverseNL, the repository service for universities and other research institutions, you can deposit data with your organisation’s Dataverse. More information about DataverseNL can be found here.

How can I log in?

Go to the login page. Preferably use your institutional account via SURFconext or your Google or GitHub account.

If such an account is not available use your e-mail to create an eduID and use this as an institutional account.

DANS does not have a fixed price for depositing data. The rates are determined by a number of factors. Depositing is free of charge for individual researchers with datasets under 50 GB. For larger datasets, please contact DANS. More information can be found on this page.

News

As announced at the CLARIAH & NDE Annual Conference on November 24 2022, CLARIAH opens a call for research projects using data from Dutch heritage institutions. The call aims to provide access for researchers to new data and gives heritage institutions the opportunity have their data developed and disseminated.

The new ARIADNEplus portal provides access to more than 4 million sources. DANS ensured that the data of Dutch archaeologists, dendrochronologists and other cultural heritage researchers are included.

From the ARIADNEplus project, which links archaeological data from several European countries, the ARIADNE Virtual Research Lab has been launched. The lab provides researchers with new tools to aggregate, analyse and process data from the ARIADNE infrastructure.
