Enhance New European Bauhaus Call for Partners 2025
Scaling up impactful projects from Connect NEB and Co-create NEB
The Enhance New European Bauhaus Call for Partners 2025 provides an opportunity for previously funded Connect NEB and Co-create NEB projects to scale up their impact. This initiative supports projects that strengthen their implementation in their original location or replicate their solutions in new areas. Successful applicants will contribute to the New European Bauhaus (NEB) movement, embedding the core values of sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusion into their projects.
Who can apply?
The call is open to EIT Community NEB partners that successfully implemented a Connect NEB or Co-create NEB project in 2023 or 2024 and have not previously received funding under the Enhance NEB scheme. Eligible proposals must be submitted by consortia of at least two and no more than four partners, with the lead partner being an EIT Community NEB partner.
Cities, regions, and affiliated entities must form part of the consortia, either as full partners or as observers, following the eligibility requirements outlined in the Call Manual.
Supported activities
All submitted proposals are expected to deliver a high-quality scale-up or replicability based on the previous projects’ achievements. In terms of scale-up strategy, the expected outcome targets are as follows:
- Outcome A: Increasing, amplifying or consolidating the project’s impact in the same location with a more holistic approach.
- Outcome B: Increasing, amplifying or consolidating the project’s impact beyond the former site at a new location (e.g. neighbourhood/district/town/city/region, etc.) by replicating/transferring the activities in/to a new location).
In addition, the grants shall be awarded for the implementation of at least one of the expected outputs of products and services (including rapid product prototypes), co-design of the public realm, and social activation and educational activities aiming to respond to the New European Bauhaus challenges.
EIT funding allocation
The total funding available for the Enhance New European Bauhaus Call for Partners 2025 is EUR 180,000, with a maximum of EUR 45,000 per project.
