Funding local ideas. Transforming neighborhoods
Connect NEB & Co-create NEB
Funding local ideas. Transforming neighbourhoods.
📅 from 15/07/2026 09.00 – CET to 30/09/2026 17.00 – CET
The EIT Community New European Bauhaus invites organisations from across Europe to submit proposals to the Connect NEB & Co-create NEB 2027 Open Call, supporting local ideas and neighbourhood transformation inspired by the New European Bauhaus. The call offers two complementary funding opportunities for organisations creating more sustainable, inclusive and beautiful places across Europe.
About the New European Bauhaus and this call
The New European Bauhaus is an EU initiative that connects the European Green Deal with everyday life, supporting the creation of places that are sustainable, inclusive and beautiful.
Through this open call, the EIT Community NEB aims to support two complementary types of local impact:
- Connect NEB supports community-led initiatives to test new ideas, activate local communities, and experiment with participatory approaches, living labs and new forms of governance inspired by the New European Bauhaus.
- Co-create NEB supports partnerships between communities, municipalities and other local actors to deliver visible, place-based transformation in public spaces.
Together, the two calls help bring the New European Bauhaus to life by supporting local actors to move from ideas and participation to implementation and long-term impact.
Connect NEB
For community-led initiatives experimenting with new ways of improving their neighbourhoods through participation, co-design, living labs, and local action. Connect NEB supports organisations rooted in their communities that want to explore new ideas, strengthen participation and prototype innovative approaches inspired by the New European Bauhaus.
