On 1 June 2005, DANS was founded as a joint initiative of the KNAW and NWO. Over the past two decades, DANS has developed into the national centre of expertise for sustainable access to and reuse of research data.
DANS is involved as a knowledge partner inย iSchool Netherlands: Dutch Design, an educational initiative that offers international students insight into the Dutch landscape of data management and digital heritage. The programme is organised in collaboration with the national iSchools platform, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, DOK Delft, and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).
From 13 to 15 May, the Thematic Digital Competence Centre for Social Sciences and Humanities (TDCC-SSH) hosted a series of online matchmaking sessions as part of the NWO TDCC Challenge Call 2025.
