The New European Bauhaus: Funding opportunities

The New European Bauhaus is a creative and interdisciplinary initiative that connects the European Green Deal to our living spaces and experiences.

The New European Bauhaus initiative calls on all of us to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls. Beautiful are the places, practices, and experiences that are:

• Enriching, inspired by art and culture, responding to needs beyond functionality.
• Sustainable, in harmony with nature, the environment, and our planet.
• Inclusive, encouraging a dialogue across cultures, disciplines, genders and ages.

The combination of several EU financing instruments with complementary scopes reflects the transdisciplinarity of the initiative.

The Commission Communication adopted on 15 September 2021 presents plans to build on and mobilise EU funds to support pilot projects, explore new avenues and turn the ideas of the New European Bauhaus movement into reality.

Through the links below, you will find the different EU funding opportunities supporting the initiative. Several calls are presented according to the main type of impact they seek.
