The New European Bauhaus is a creative and transdisciplinary movement connecting sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusion. By merging science and technology with art and culture, it promotes innovative and socially inclusive ways of living.
By bridging the green and digital transitions, the NEB mobilises citizens, experts, businesses, and public institutions around a shared European vision. It also facilitates access to EU funding for projects that embody these principles, with particular attention to young and emerging talents.

Since its launch, the NEB Prizes have become a flagship annual competition, recognising outstanding projects and forward-looking ideas that make the built environment more beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive, while inspiring communities across Europe and beyond.
