New European Bauhaus Facility – Info Day

This information day aims to inform (potential) applicants about the destinations and topics included in the NEB Facility part of the Horizon Europe ‘main’ work programme for 2025.

The NEB Facility is a multi-annual (2025-2027) and cross-cutting tool to revitalise European neighbourhoods with design for sustainability and inclusion. It will support projects on the sustainable transformation of the built environment. The NEB Facility aims to make the inhabitants of the built environment partners of change.

Activities under the NEB Facility should contribute to the wider social acceptance of the innovative solutions developed, accelerating the just green and digital transformation and strengthening and restoring citizens’ trust in democracy. They should also explore the built environment’s function in the conservation and restoration of natural ecosystems, its relation to historical urban, peri-urban or rural areas, the improvement of social cohesion as well as people’s health and well-being. The NEB Facility is composed of a research and innovation (R&I) component and a roll-out component.

The R&I component will cover fundamental research, testing and demonstration. It will be implemented as a cross-cluster issue in the Horizon Europe work programme. The roll-out component of the NEB Facility will seek to facilitate the uptake, further development and deployment of new knowledge, methods, approaches and technologies developed under the R&I component.

NEB Facility’s R&I component will deliver on several specific expected impacts as defined in the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan 2025-2027. In this part of the ‘main’ work programme 2025, each destination of the R&I component will deliver on three to four expected impacts. This destination-based work programme structure follows a thematic centre-of-gravity approach, but activities within a destination may be cross-cutting and will often contribute to several expected impacts. The specific contribution to the overall expected impacts is explained in the introductory text of each destination.

The info day will present the topics under the following three destinations:

1. Connecting the green transformation, social inclusion and local democracy
2. Circular and regenerative approaches for the built environment
3. Innovative funding and new business models for the transformation of neighbourhoods

The info session will not include an in-depth presentation of topics for each destination. We invite you to watch pre-recorded presentations of the topics prior to the event.
