Since April 2003, Nereus has been developing innovative information services to connect existing essential research resources and to unlock new content from top economics faculties across Europe.

Nereus is integrating access to the economics resources of key libraries, academic publications and other online resources in Europe and beyond. It is a follow-up to the European Commission projects Decomate I & Decomate II.

Existing research resources such as RePEc and new content of excellence from over 835 top economics scholars, have been unlocked through the Economists Online portal. Book references, articles, working papers, conference proceedings, reports, government publications,

statistics, statistics, as well as other web resources have been made openly available online. Sources are provided with as much full-text and raw data as possible. And in a number of languages, including English, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish and Russion.
