In recent years, DANS has reinforced its position as a centre of expertise in the national and international data landscape by taking full advantage of opportunities for project funding in the Netherlands and the EU, introducing domain-specific repositories based on the global use of the Dataverse open source software, and focusing all activities more exclusively on data.
The data landscape and DANS’ position in its context are changing constantly, but our mission remains the same: to promote the reuse of research data for the benefit of research. This not only implies the importance of continuity but also ongoing and dynamic development. We will continue to interpret this mission in the coming years, all in line with the latest developments in research, technological capabilities, and developments in the data landscape. In doing so, we will, of course, incorporate the recommendations from the 2024 SEP evaluation.
In the coming years, DANS will play a stimulating and connecting role within the national and international data landscape to increase the actual reuse of research data.
