Abstract - We offer a brief overview of the activities of the global research network NES from its concept towards present activities. The mayor goal of this network is to foster and coordinate the scientific activities on nanoscale phenomena in superconducting systems in Europe - in coordination with the network activities in Japan and the USA. The scientific focus ranges from fundamental and experimental aspects, theory and applications, to organization of workshops, conferences and support of education in this field of science.
