Nesis
Project
The NESIS Project was a three-year Accompanying Measure, funded as part
of the Fifth Framework Information Society Technologies Programme of the
EU during 2001 2004. It was designed to contribute to the continuing
elaboration and evaluation of European benchmarking indicators for the
new information economy.
The project organised around four policy and conceptual pillars that emerged from the EU Lisbon strategy. These pillars were
-
Macroeconomic Stability and Environmental Sustainability
-
Productivity and Competitiveness in the New Information Economy,
-
Human Investment in the New Information Economy and
-
Social Inclusion in the New Information Economy.
The University of Bath worked as part of the NESIS consortium. Its work package included the following tasks:
-
Stocktaking on existing attempts to conceptualise the new economy, drawing on leading edge work in the EU, the US and the OECD area;
-
Development of indicator appraisal criteria;
-
Conceptual appraisal of existing EU indicators;
-
Identification of conceptually resonant best practice indicators for use by policy-makers.
