The Network of European Regions Using Space Technologies (NEREUS) has just approved the membership of the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC — Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya). NEREUS represents the interests of European regions that use space technologies whilst simultaneously highlighting the regional dimension of European space policy and programmes.
This network is the only European association of its kind in that the responsibilities for governing the network lie with the regions that comprise its membership. As a unique thematic network for matters of regional space uses, its key mission is to explore the benefits of space technologies for European Regions and their citizens as well as to promote the use of space and its applications.
NEREUS offers a dynamic platform to all Regions aiming at making a better use of space applications for the delivery of efficient public policies benefiting citizens. By providing this platform, the Network raises awareness of the benefits offered by space and helps all regions and their citizens to avail of these. Therefore, it is expected to (i) serve as a forum to facilitate this translation process and to promote a broad uptake across Europe, and (ii) to ensure that upstream systems evolve to better serve the needs of the downstream users.
NEREUS’ main activities focus on political dialogue, interregional cooperation and partnership, technological trends and developments relevant for future space solutions and user needs.
