>> The NIS-NEST Database is a "pool" of potential partners, containing the contact details and the scientific interests of the researchers and organisations in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, the Republic of Moldova and other Eastern European countries.
>> It aims at assisting researchers from both EU and Eastern European countries in identifying counterparts in order to formulate consortia and jointly participate in FP7 research areas. The Database is accessible through the NIS-NEST website and will operate during and beyond the project's lifecycle.
