NEB Cocreate is calling for communities and local authorities to reshape public space
The EIT Community's New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative has opened its doors for their Co-create program once again!
This program is offering funding and other support for projects that are working on solutions to boost the transformation of cities, rural and peri-urban areas.
Spearheaded by EIT Food, EIT Climate-KIC, EIT Manufacturing, and EIT Urban Mobility, the program is dedicated to support projects that allow people and communities to re-imagine communal spaces – bringing them closer to nature, building a shared sense of belonging and addressing local needs.
Is your project addressing challenges related to food, climate, urban mobility, or manufacturing? And does it incorporate the three core NEB values of sustainability, inclusivity and aesthetics? Then apply today!
New European Bauhaus
The New European Bauhaus is an environmental, social and cultural initiative that is guided by three core values:
- Sustainability: from climate goals, to circularity, zero pollution, and biodiversity;
- Aesthetics: from design beyond functionality, to quality of experience, lifestyle and well-being;
- Inclusion: valorising diversity, equality for all, accessibility, and affordability.
Supported activities
Below, the EIT Community NEB defines four challenge areas, based on thematic axes of the NEB.
- Re-connecting with nature;
- Re-gaining sense of community and belonging;
- Prioritising the places and people that need it the most;
- The need for a long term, life cycle and integrated thinking in industrial ecosystem.
All applications must address at least one of the EIT Community NEB challenge areas mentioned above.
