NEB-prizes 2022 bannerThe New European Bauhaus is an initiative of the Europea Commission about improving our daily lives, focusing on better living together in more beautiful, sustainable and inclusive places.

It is about bridging global challenges with local solutions to achieve our climate targets and support a broader transformation on the ground.

A triangle of three inseparable values guides the New European Bauhaus:

  • sustainability, from climate goals, to circularity, zero pollution, and biodiversity,
  • aesthetics, quality of experience and style, beyond functionality,
  • inclusion, valorising diversity, equality for all, accessibility and affordability.

The 2021 edition of the prizes rewarded excellence and creativity in showcasing these values. The Prizes attracted more than 2000 outstanding projects and ideas that helped shape the concept and inspired the development of the New European Bauhaus initiative.

The second edition of the New European Bauhaus Prizes will continue accompanying this transformative movement in 2022!

Applications are open until 28 February 2022 – 19:00 CET.
