The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey aims to observe over 400 evolved stars within 2 kpc, to determine why, and how much, our Galaxy cares about AGB stars. This contribution presents a brief introduction to the survey and data. NESS is an open project. Anyone is welcome to get involved and we aim to make as much data and code available to the community as possible.
