DANS subsidy for small data projects

Each year DANS makes € 100,000 available for Small Data Projects. These projects may aim to describe and make one or more important data sets accessible, but can also cover feasibility studies and explore new fields of data-to-data archiving or ways of making research data accessible.

Small data projects can focus on describing one or more important data sets and making them accessible. They can also be feasibility studies or explorations in the field of data-to-data archiving in a new area, discipline or data format. But projects can also be pilots on new ways to archive or make research data accessible.

Do you have ideas for small data projects or believe there is a large gap in your field where archiving is concerned? Feel free to invite a DANS staff member to discuss these problems with you. Aside from providing subsidies, DANS can sometimes be of use to you by, for instance, deploying personnel to specific archiving projects.
