New European Bauhaus

The Festival took place from 9 to 12 June in Brussels, over 20 other countries across Europe, and online. Through its physical and online activities, the event reached nearly 200 000 people. It was a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in beauty, sustainability, and inclusion to meet, exchange, make plans for the future, and celebrate.

Let’s keep the conversation going and continue to build this beautiful and sustainable movement together!

Out of over 1 100 projects, four prizes were awarded in each of four categories, every time including awards for existing completed projects and ‘Rising Stars’ prizes for ideas by young talents aged 30 or less.

In the ‘Reconnecting with nature’ category, winners are from Spain, France, Germany, and Poland. Prizes for ‘Regaining a sense of belonging’ went to projects from Austria, Lithuania, Poland and Czechia. Best projects under ‘Prioritising the places and people that need it the most’ were selected from Belgium, Greece, Italy, and Hungary. In the fourth category, ‘Shaping a circular industrial ecosystem and supporting life-cycle thinking’, prizes went to Portugal, Romania, Finland, and Italy. Finally, two prizes went to winners of a public vote: one to Cyprus and the other one to Spain.

Highlights from the ceremony can be seen here. Watch the whole event and discover the 18 winners and all the finalists' projects on the prizes platform.

We want to hear from you!

We are currently mapping regulatory barriers and good practices on local, regional, national and European levels. The aim of this is to revise and reshape existing regulations governing the built and construction sector in line with the objectives of the New European Bauhaus and the European Green Deal.

If you have questions, we will be happy to answer them and help you fill out the survey in a meeting on 29 June from 12:30 to 13:30 CET on webex.

Your contribution will be highly appreciated.

Join us as an independent expert!

In the context of the NEB Lab project on a labelling strategy, we will collect and analyse the existing standards and codes of practice and develop an assessment framework that will allow interested parties designing, implementing or assessing transformation projects to align with the New European Bauhaus dimensions.

Through this call, we are looking for experts to get involved in this work. The expected commitment would roughly and tentatively correspond to 100 days of work (mostly remote) across a two-year period.

If this opportunity sounds interesting to you or someone you know, please don't hesitate to reach out.

1. Model for projects associated with the New European Bauhaus
2. Model for energy efficiency investments under REPower EU

These models give authorities and financial intermediaries options on how to combine EU grants together with loans on favourable terms, to finance investments in support of energy efficiency and New European Bauhaus territorial development investments.

The financial instruments were developed jointly under fi-compass - a platform for advisory services on financial instruments provided by the Commission in partnership with the EIB.
