Attached I have given the search history so that anyone can easily do
their own country. One should be aware that some countries are not
(completely) represented in DRIVER. Currently DRIVER harvests over 200
repositories from 23 countries.
For the moment we have no mandates. The Netherlands Research
Organisation NWO has announced one. Six or seven universities have a
mandate for doctoral theses.
