CASRAI standards in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is a leader in responsible research assessment through the national Recognition & Rewards programme (Erkennen en Waarderen), which broadens evaluation beyond publication metrics. Dutch funders are committed to Plan S and open access, and the country has a mature CRIS / research-information landscape (historically including NARCIS). Dutch organisations are prominent in CoARA and in open-science infrastructure provided by SURF.
