About New European Bauhaus (NEB)
#NewEuropeanBauhaus
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) is an environmental, economic and cultural initiative that connects the European Green Deal to our living spaces and experiences. It calls on all Europeans to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, minds and souls of all.
The New European Bauhaus fosters a comprehensive approach to the Green Transition in our economy and society, grounded in the values of beauty, sustainability, and collaboration (beautiful, sustainable, together). It adheres to the working principles of a participatory process, a transdisciplinary approach, and multi-level engagement.
The New European Bauhaus is a creative and transdisciplinary movement in the making!
- It serves as a bridge connecting the realms of science, technology, art, and culture.
- It focuses on harnessing our green and digital challenges to enhance and improve our lives.
- It is an invitation to collaboratively tackle complex societal issues through co-creation.
By creating bridges between different backgrounds, cutting across disciplines and building on participation at all levels, the New European Bauhaus inspires a movement to facilitate and steer the transformation of our societies along three inseparable values:
- sustainability, from climate goals to circularity, zero pollution, and biodiversity
- aesthetics, quality of experience and style beyond functionality
- inclusion, from valuing diversity to securing accessibility and affordability
The New European Bauhaus brings citizens, experts, businesses, and institutions together to reimagine sustainable living in Europe and beyond. In addition to creating a platform for experimentation and connection, the initiative supports positive change also by providing access to EU funding for beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive projects.

WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE NEW EUROPEAN BAUHAUS (NEB)?
The New European Bauhaus wants to make the Green Deal a cultural, human centred and positive, “tangible” experience. It shows the opportunities and hopes and brings the Green Deal to the people by building a new future together.
The New European Bauhaus wants to connect different realities. The COVID crisis has shown that many topics are interlinked, and that new thinking comes from breaking silos, just as the Bauhaus movement did one hundred years ago. The New European Bauhaus would like to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between people across Europe and to create an interdisciplinary project.
The New European Bauhaus wants form to follow planet: We want to create a design movement integrating three dimensions: sustainability (including circularity), quality of experience (including aesthetics) and inclusion (including affordability). Showing that creativity is in finding affordable, inclusive and attractive solutions for our climate challenges.

WHAT IS THE NEW EUROPEAN BAUHAUS (NEB)?
The New European Bauhaus is a think-do tank. A design lab, accelerator and network at the same time. A creative and interdisciplinary movement, convening a space of encounter to recuperate and revisit sustainable practices from, empower the most inspiring practices of today, and design future ways of living, at the crossroads between art, culture and science.
The New European Bauhaus wants to build a sustainable future through creativity, innovation and imagination. To enable experimental places and spaces for us to reimagine how to live better together after the pandemic.
The New European Bauhaus is a crossroads project. It connects innovation, creativity and design to citizen’s quality of life in towns and localities. It bridges, connect and blend the green and digital transformations.
The New European Bauhaus is a transformational project. It aims to lead the thinking, inspire behaviours, attract the markets and influence public procurement to make new ways of living possible. The ultimate focus is “beyond buildings” – the project should bring benefit to the whole of society. It will help to revisit Europe’s cultural heritage and shape its future.
The New European Bauhaus is transformational in its delivery. Co-created and delivered in innovative, fresh, inclusive and creative ways.
