Nereus concentrates on creating new information services and unlocking new information, by bundling the results of top economics research and making them easily accessible.

Serving the researcher
University libraries and their faculties are working together to identify and create added value, by developing information services which will save the researcher time, increase the visibility of research and enhance resource discovery. A Scientific Advisory Board, made up of respected researchers, advises the group.
