Synthesis of the workshop’s outcome about implementing the New European Bauhaus in EU-funded projects now online

On September 24th in Luxemburg, the Nebula project organised the very first workshop dedicated to the New European Bauhaus (NEB) at the Sustainable Places Conference.

The objectives of the session were to raise awareness about the NEB amongst a mixed audience of experts from the built environment, question how they address the NEB value in their respective R&D projects, and identify the remaining challenges towards the further implementation of the new Bauhaus.

Participants discussed their perceptions, good practices, and remaining challenges with regards to implementing the NEB values (beautiful, sustainable, inclusive) and working principles (participatory approach, multi-level engagement, and transdisciplinary).

New Bauhaus Stories Episode #5: New European Bauhaus on Research & Education

The Nebula project is organising a series of peer learning activities to share experiences and insights about the New European Bauhaus. Join Nebula partners for the fifth instalment on 23 October 2024 to learn about the New European Bauhaus attitudes towards research and education.

Education and research were at the heart of the original Bauhaus School founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius in Germany. Many years later, the Bauhaus School inspired the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative, launched by the European Commission (EC) in 2021. In the Bauhaus spirit of combining art, science, industry and design, the NEB core values have been defined as ‘beautiful, sustainable, and together’, supported by the working principles of the participatory process, multi-level engagement, and a transdisciplinary approach. 

In Episode #5 of our New Bauhaus Stories webinar series , four NEB education and research projects (BAUHAUS4EU, NEBINAR, U-RE-HERIT, and Cultuur&Campus) will share their experiences, discuss how they incorporate NEB values and working principles into their activities, and explore the challenges and opportunities for NEB in research and education moving forward. 

BAUHAUS4EU is a European university alliance that aims to create a shared campus with joint teaching, research, and knowledge transfer activities to support the resilient, sustainable, inclusive, and beautiful development of their institutions and regions. 

NEBINAR is the New European Bauhaus ACE Initiative for young architects. The aim of the program is to disseminate knowledge about the NEB to a wide audience, especially young architects. The program specifically focuses on the Baltic and Balkan countries. However, the open formula of the program does not exclude the participation of organisations from other European countries. 

U-RE-HERIT’s ‘Architects for Heritage in Ukraine: Recreating Identity and Memory’ project focuses on the evaluation, preservation, and restoration of urban and architectural heritage in Ukraine during and after the war. It recognises this heritage as vital for fostering sustainable cultural, social, environmental, and economic recovery.

Cultuur&Campus is a sustainable hub that integrates arts, research, learning, and community, catalysing territorial transitions.

New Bauhaus Stories Episode #4: let’s talk about renovation!

To achieve 2050 targets, buildings’ energy needs must be reduced massively to improve their energy performance in line with the Energy Efficiency First Principle. To that end, existing buildings need to transform into energy-efficient buildings, with a circular approach and a reduction of whole life-cycle carbon. But they also have to better answer occupants needs and account for social inclusion.

Several EU funded projects are currently developing and demonstrating solutions for the deep renovation of buildings, to unlock the EU Renovation Wave. They develop different types of innovative renovation packages, circular and digitalised approaches, as well as novel business models and marketplaces.

Episode #4 of our webinar series “New Bauhaus Stories” will give you the opportunity to meet 5 of those projects: REHOUSE,  Drastic,  e-SAFE InCUBE  and Fortesie while discussing how their innovations go beyond energy efficiency and embrace the values of the New European Bauhaus: sustainability, inclusiveness and aesthetics.

Date: June 4

Time: 12:00 CET

New Bauhaus Stories webinar to feature innovative ‘NEB-by-design’ European startups

Is the New European Bauhaus (NEB) compatible with a business approach?

Can we develop solutions that both embed the inspirational values of the NEB (sustainability, beauty, inclusivity) whilst also appealing to a competitive market?

The third instalment of the Nebula project’s New Bauhaus Stories webinar series will explore these questions in the company of three startups that developed ‘NEB-by-design’ solutions with the support of a dedicated mentoring and funding programme launched by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Community NEB.

Natalia Vera, Climate KIC, will introduce the NEB Journey proposed by the EIT (European Institute of Innovation and Technology) NEB Community to support innovators and accelerate start-ups. Speakers from European start-ups that have incorporated ‘NEB-by-design’ solutions into their practises will also feature as part of the webinar:

Natalia Vera, from Climate KIC, will introduce the NEB Journey proposed by the EIT Community New European Bauhaus to support innovators and accelerate startups.

  • Geoffrey Eberle, ENTROPIC,  will introduce the NEST solution from Spain, a façade panel technology that creates living spaces for plants and animals within the urban environment, while improving buildings’ acoustic and thermal performance.
  • Anastasya Syvolob will introduce GEODESIC.LIFE, a Ukrainian startup that commercialises affordable prefabricated eco-friendly dome homes.

The guest speakers will discuss the support available from a dedicated mentoring and funding programme launched by the EIT Community NEB and give recommendations for entrepreneurs interested in applying for this scheme.

Date: 24 May 2024

Time: 11:30 CET
