  1. “This EU funding and the widespread collaboration on NEEO are exactly what will make this a success, and, more important, critically allow the world greater and readier access to best research.” Danny Quah, Prof. of Economics and Head of Dept

  2. A library network: 20_10

  3. We are • A network of libraries and institutions serving a specific subject community • Institutions with high-rankings in economics • Serving our economists by: • increasing visibility of excellent research & • bringing new content online • building added value services • utilising and linking key DL resource capacities • Serving the network by: • Focussing on cost-efficiency and innovation • Maximising on knowledge-exchange structures

  4. NEEO Network of European Economists Online SEE and BE SEEN co-funded by the European Union, and Nereus

Key Objective To improve the global visibility, usability, and management of European economics research Providing various users easy and open access to high-quality multilingual academic output of leading European economics institutes and their researchers Via a reliable and sustainable portal with aggregated and enhanced metadata enabling an infrastructure for new services Showcasing the work of at least 500 leading scholars from 20 institutions

  9. Key envisaged results 1/2 Users • 500 authors collaborate • User surveys (3): content and service specs & evaluation • IPR advocacy information material • Download statistics Content & dissemination • Content provided by 20 partners (datasets and publications) • Publications – bib. references: 50,000 & full text: 20,000 • Data – issue report, data repositories and 160 datasets • Key data and service providers identified; push and pull activities
