New European Bauhaus

These are some of the topics that were discussed at the New European Bauhaus goes Into the Woods event on 24 November in Finland.

In her intervention, Commission President von der Leyen announced the creation of a New European Bauhaus Academy for sustainable construction.

“The New European Bauhaus Academy will focus mainly on research and innovation and on the necessary skills that we need for the green transition, mainly in the construction sector”.

The event was organised in the framework of the Nordic Carbon Neutral Bauhaus NEB Lab project by the Government of Finland, in collaboration with the European Commission and the Governments of Estonia and Sweden.

The call will fund projects to deliver tangible, real-life examples of New European Bauhaus interventions that fully integrate the three NEB core values of sustainability, inclusiveness, and aesthetics.

The call is open until 19 January 2023 at 14:00 CET.

These are some of the questions we seek to answer in the context of the NEB Lab project on innovative funding.

Following its first phase, which consisted of two pilots (philanthropy and crowdfunding), the NEB Lab project on innovative funding entered a new phase. The project will explore how to fund small, grassroots projects with low, seed-level financing to make a tangible impact on the New European Bauhaus community. The goal is to look into creating a ‘one-stop-shop’ for small projects across Europe and offer the best funding solutions for each project via crowdfunding, philanthropy, or EU public funding.

The project will place the transition to climate neutrality at the heart of urban stakeholders.

The CrAFt Cities will test and share transformation models, receive implementation support and become role models for other cities across Europe.
