New European Bauhaus Facility – Matchmaking Event 2026
Are you gearing up for a project proposal in Horizon Europe’s New European Bauhaus Facility? This international partnering event will help you build your consortium for the upcoming 2026 calls.
The European network of NEB NCPs, NEB4All, invites you to participate in the onsite Matchmaking Event on 5 March 2026 for the upcoming 2026 NEB Facility calls. This event complements the European Commission’s NEB Facility Info Session for the 2026 calls, which will occur online on February 24.
In addition to One-to-One meetings with other potential applicants, this event will also provide you with a platform to present your project ideas in five-minute pitching sessions.
Target audience
The networking event is targeted at anyone interested in participating in projects in the Horizon Europe NEB Facility calls 2026, such as universities, research centres, municipalities, private companies, and stakeholders engaged in R&D. NEB Facility proposals are expected to follow a participatory and transdisciplinary approach through the integration of different actors (such as public authorities, local actors from the targeted neighbourhoods, civil society, actors from the cultural and creative sectors) and disciplines (such as architecture, urban design, design, arts and crafts, (civil) engineering, health, economics, finance, social science and humanities, etc.).
Important point!
This brokerage event is looking to help coordinators and partners to further improve and develop their project idea and to find potential collaboration partners, and is not a ‘buyer–seller’ event.
The brokerage event should similarly not be used by consultants to sell their advisory services to clients. Consultants with specific expertise who wish to become partners of Horizon Europe/NEB projects are welcome, provided they can describe and demonstrate this expertise, e.g. by providing references for previous Horizon 2020 or Horizon Europe projects, or for another relevant EU programme (i.e. Life, Creative Europe, Erasmus) in which they have been involved.
