# Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) #  DANS is the Dutch national centre of expertise and repository for research data. We help researchers make their data available for reuse. This allows researchers to use the data for new research and makes published research verifiable and reproducible. With more than 200,000 datasets and a staff of 60, DANS is one of the leading repositories in Europe. It is our mission to enhance the reusability of research data and thus the quality of scientific research.
