NEM (Networked & Electronic Media) is the European industrial initiative set up to encourage the convergence between the media, communications, and IT technologies.

NEM includes over 500 organisations, the largest European companies in the sector, universities, research centres and content providers. Engineering is an active part of the initiative and the Steering Board, along with other prestigious European public and private organisations (BBC, France Telecom, Nokia, Philips).  

NEM deals with various themes in an integrated and coordinated manner, through its flexible organisational structure and specific working groups.
