A microscopic calculation of near-threshold eta-meson production in the reaction NN -> NNeta is presented. It is assumed that the eta meson is produced via direct emission and via elementary rescattering processes MN -> etaN of various mesons M = pi, rho, etc. As a novel feature the amplitudes for the latter production mechanism are taken from a multi-channel meson-exchange model of the pi N system developed by the Juelich group which contains explicitly the channels pi N, rho N, eta N, sigma N, and pi Delta. Furthermore, effects of the NN interaction in the final as well as in the initial state are taken into account microscopically. Our results are compared with recent data from the COSY and CELSIUS accelerator facilities. Reasonable agreement with available near-threshold cross section data for the reactions pp -> ppeta, pn -> pneta, and pn -> deta is found.
