The EIT Community New European Bauhaus (NEB) invites applicants to submit proposals for funding through its community-focused Co-create NEB Call for Proposals, which focuses on new solutions to boost the transformation of cities, rural and peri-urban areas.

The purpose of the call is 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.

The EIT Community NEB is especially interested in receiving applications for projects that address challenges related to climate, urban mobility, food and manufacturing.

Crucially, proposals must integrate the three core NEB values of sustainability, inclusivity and aesthetics. For more information, please refer to chapters 3.1 and 3.2 of the Call Manual.

1. Re-connecting with nature;
