The NEB Antenna will be a designated space located at the NEB Festival venue (next to the main Festival Forum space), where you will always find someone from the NEB team.
During the Festival days, the NEB unit will be organizing four consultation sessions in the NEB Antenna space, which are open to everyone from NEB Community, but limited by the space's capacity. Two of these sessions will aim to consult on the recently adopted budget support instrument - the NEB Facility, while the other two will reflect on past collaborations with the community and discuss how to work together even better in the NEB Community. To attend the consultation sessions, you need to register through this link by 4 April at noon. The selection of participants will be done on a first-come, first-served basis. We look forward to meet with you!
The NEB antenna will also showcase informally and interactively a few New European Bauhaus projects and initiatives, including some fostered by the European Commission.
Last but not least, if you have any printed material related to an NEB project or action that you want to display, you can add it to the NEB Library, located in the NEB Antenna space. To arrange the delivery, please get in touch with Miroslava.
NEB Antenna agenda
10 April (Wednesday)
13:00-14:00 SciArt Project: presentation of eBAU by Roberto Paci Dalò
Roberto Paci Dalò invites you to join the presentation of his book with annotations and drawings (evoking the graphic novel universe), containing free and unrestrained variations on what a beautiful, inclusive and sustainable Europe might be in the near and far future. Not an academic article, not a programmatic text, but a light catalogue of possible and impossible visions for the future, created with non-verbal language, addressing a young and non-academic part of the public together with professionals, so that we all can dream of a New European Bauhaus. EBAU was developed in the margin of the discussion of the European Commision Joint Research Centre SciArt experts and artists discussing the use of art in the promotion of science with help of the New European Bauhaus.
14:15-15:15 ACTIONbook. Innovation for place-based transformations
The Joint Research Centre - Innovation Policies and Economic Impact unit invites you to join the presentation of the ACTIONbook, a guide for the co-creation of transformative policies created as a result of the Partnerships for Regional Innovation Pilot Project. As part of the presentation, you will be able participate in an informal discussion, while consulting a video on transformative innovation and a few copies of the ACTIONbook.
How does the ACTIONbook relate to NEB? The NEB guiding principles and those underpinning the ACTIONbook are very similar. They are rooted in the need for systemic transformations for societal sustainability and share values such as inclusion and participation. The ACTIONbook can be an asset for the NEB community, to be used for the identification and definition of projects and public policies.
15:30-16:30 NEB Facility consultation session
The NEB Facility is the new budget support framework for the period 2025-2027 for the NEB movement, which will finance projects ranging from research and innovation to scaling up solutions on the ground. We now need your insight to design together the R&I topics, as well as main areas of focus for deployment of solutions that can revitalise our neighbourhoods. The sessions are a part of a wider consultation process on the NEB Facility that is intendeded to co-create a NEB Facility roadmap for implementation, which should be ready by the end of the year. Registrations for the session are mandatory.

16:55-17:05 (and onwards): NEB-inspired solar dome by BIG, winning design of the Joint Research Centre’s (JRC) future site in Seville
The European Commission launched in 2021 an international architectural competition to define the future permanent site of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Seville. It sought concept designs inspired by the New European Bauhaus to host JRC’s 400 international scientific staff in Seville. A solar dome designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, BIG, achieved the first prize. The project is now selecting offers for its construction. Vincenzo Cardarelli, Adviser for Seville Site Coordination, Site Development and External Relations in the Joint Research Centre, and who is responsible for the architectural competition, will present and be ready to discuss the origins and status of the first NEBEuropean Commission inspired building.
11 April (Thursday)
10:20-11:20 What should be the next steps for NEB Community?
New European Bauhaus has seen plenty of developments over the last two years. Working with the NEB Community has been successful, but we can certainly do it better.

Registrations for the session are mandatory.

12:00-13:00 NEB self-assessment framework for buildings and living spaces
In 2022, the European Parliament proposed and launched the Preparatory Action “New European Bauhaus (NEB) Knowledge Management Platform”. The aim of the Preparatory Action is to streamline the standards and guidance around the three values of the New European Bauhaus (sustainability, beauty, inclusiveness), and develop a self-assessment framework for buildings and living spaces, allowing interested parties to align with the New European Bauhaus while designing and implementing their transformation projects. The self-assessment framework will take the shape of a Handbook, providing all the necessary guidance, and an IT tool to facilitate the evaluation of projects.
The IT self-assessment tool and Handbook aim to foster the technical and quantitative evaluation of projects according to the NEB principles. All building professionals working in the architectural, engineering, constructions and operations sector, as well as professionals in social and community services will have the opportunity to learn about the forthcoming Handbook and IT Tool from the development team.
For projects in the built environment, smaller than 100000 euro, we are working on a simpler, easy to use IT interface, developed together with the European Investment Bank.
13:30-14:30 NEB Joint Research Centre (JRC) Geel site project presentation
This unique journey will present JRC-Geel New European Bauhaus real estate project: a beautiful, sustainable and inclusive NEB renovation project. You will be able to enjoy a presentation by the project team on the approach followed and the following steps towards the project's completion.
