The New European Bauhaus seeks to combine design, sustainability, accessibility, affordability and investment in order to help deliver the European Green Deal.

The initiative is shaped through an innovative co-design process involving citizens, experts, businesses, as well as policy-making institutions. Artists, designers, engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, architects, students, and all interested people with a creative mind are welcome to contribute and share examples, challenges, stories and ideas.

Contributing to the New European Bauhaus is easy. A dedicated New European Bauhaus website collects all information in one place. On the website, you can browse ideas, contribute to discussions, share your views, and host your own conversations.

The initiative advances through three phases:

• Design phase: gathering of ideas and examples until summer 2021
  (outcome: EU support framework, call for pilot proposals and special prizes for excellent examples)
• Delivery phase: networking and knowledge sharing from September 2021 onwards
  (setting up and implementing new pilots)
• Dissemination phase: rolling out ideas and new actions further in Europe and beyond from January 2023 onwards
