Ideas wanted
One of the seven thematic fields of the programme is the “New European Bauhaus” category. It is directly in line with the initiative launched by the European Commission. In this category, we are looking for innovative solutions that contribute to developing beautiful, sustainable and inclusive places, products and ways of living.
The ideas should connect the objectives of the European Green Deal to the daily life of European citizens. In their proposals, applicants should pay particular attention to simultaneously address the three dimensions of the New European Bauhaus (NEB):
- Sustainability: e.g. addressing climate change (mitigation and adaptation), fostering circularity, reducing pollution and preserving biodiversity;
- Aesthetics: including quality of experience and style, beyond functionality;
- Inclusion: valorising diversity, securing accessibility and affordability to all.
If you are looking to bring your idea out of the lab and onto the market, don’t miss your chance, apply today!
