What is the New European Bauhaus (NEB)?
New European Bauhaus (NEB) is a policy and funding initiative that makes green transition in built environments and beyond enjoyable, attractive and convenient for all. Even the smallest communities on the ground deserve living spaces that improve their well-being and sense of belonging. The initiative promotes solutions that are not only sustainable, but also inclusive and beautiful, while respecting the diversity of places, traditions, and cultures in Europe and beyond. NEB focuses on space, buildings
The New European Bauhaus works by :
- engaging people at a grassroots level, focusing on neighbourhoods
- providing tools and guidance
- offering tailor-made solutions for different communities
- incorporating the views of various stakeholders into the process of design and implementation
- prioritising people and social inclusion but also the economy to boost competitiveness and EU strategic autonomy
OsloMet sees NEB as a valuable platform for collaboration across research fields, sectors, and countries.
